ABC analysis in hospitals of NCT of Delhi : Impact of drug policy Khanna N*, Tekur U*, Bhooi N** and Bapna J S*** Deptt. of Pharmacology, UCMS and MAMC , Delhi **IIMHR , Jaipur
Introduction • The Delhi Drug Policy was implemented in 1994-95. Before this, essential drugs were not readily available in Delhi hospitals. • Drugs available in the hospitals were not cost effective. • Unnecessary medicines, including herbal drugs were stocked. • EDL was published in 1994. Pooled procurement of drugs in all the Govt. hospitals started from 1995. • EDL has been revised every two years. 2002 was the latest one. Work is on for 2004.
Study Aims • To conduct an ABC analysis of all the drugs procured in three hospitals of Delhi. * LNH: Lok Nayak Hospital * DDUH: Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital * LBSH: Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital
Methods • Prior permission was obtained from Director Health Services, Delhi and MS of all the three Hospitals. • Retrospective data was collected for the years 1993-94 and 1994-95 (pre-implementation period) and 2000-01 and 2001-02 (post implementation period). Details of data collected included name of drugs, dosage form, quantity procured and the total cost incurred by the hospital. • The drugs were further categorized as those belonging to the EDL of NCT of Delhi or not part of this EDL. • Data was subsequently analyzed according to ABC analysis.
ABC Analysis • Examines the annual consumption of drugs & expenditures for procurement • Divides the drugs consumed into 3 categories • Class A (10 % of items : 75% of exp) • Class B (15 % of items : 15% of exp) • Class C (75 % of items : 10% of exp) Uses of ABC • Degree to which actual consumption reflects public health needs • Reduce inventory levels and costs • Seek cost reductions by finding lower prices on class A items • Ensure that large orders of class A items are handled expeditiously
Features of ABC Items A B C Consumption Value High Moderate Low Control High Moderate Low Ordering Frequent ordering One in 3 months Bulk ordering Purchasing Central Combination Decentralized

Summary • ABC analysis was done to determine the impact of Drug Policy in Hospitals of Delhi. • There was an increase in the %age procurement of drugs from the EDL after the implementation of drug policy. • Number of Non EDL drugs in the Class A category has reduced after the implementation of the drug policy • Stock outs have decreased • Implies increased availability of drugs • Improved service delivery • Leading to economic gains for the hospital
Conclusions and Policy Implications • Drugs which appear very commonly in A Category should be included in the EDL. • Large amount of money has been spent on procuring Cefotaxime in all the hospitals. This could be taken into consideration while updating the EDL in future.
