What is hospital pharmacy inventory management?

Hospital pharmacy inventory management involves tracking medicine stock levels, monitoring expiry dates, managing purchase orders, and ensuring critical medicines are always available without overstocking or accumulating dead stock.

How does FEFO help reduce expiry loss?

FEFO (First Expiry, First Out) ensures that medicines closest to their expiry date are dispensed first, significantly reducing the amount of expired stock that has to be written off.

What is ABC analysis in pharmacy?

ABC analysis categorizes pharmacy stock into three groups: A (high-value, low-quantity items that need tight control), B (moderate value and quantity), and C (low-value, high-quantity items). This helps prioritize inventory management efforts.

Can Amretri help reduce dead stock in my pharmacy?

Yes. Amretri can audit your current inventory, identify slow-moving and non-moving items, analyze purchase history, and implement corrective procurement planning to prevent dead stock accumulation.

What is VED analysis in pharmacy?

VED analysis classifies medicines as Vital (life-saving), Essential (necessary for patient care), and Desirable (comfort or convenience items). This ensures that vital medicines are never out of stock.

How can Amretri help prevent stock-outs of critical medicines?

Amretri implements reorder level systems, min-max thresholds, and automated alerts for fast-moving and critical care medicines, ensuring they are replenished before stock runs out.
