Lean Hospital Approach for Improving The Process of Taking Drug Services in Outpatient Pharmacy Installations

Abstract

Lean is a method to reduce activities in the form of waste to increase efficiency in manufacturing or production lines and can be implemented in health services. This study analyse the flow of prescription services in BPJS Outpatient Pharmacy Installation as data for improvement. The results showed non-value added activities of 22%, value added activities of 74%, necessary non-value added activities of 4%, and process cycle efficiency of 74%. As for non-concoction drugs, non-value added activities are around 39%, value added is 61% and process cycle efficiency is 61%. The data shows that there is a process of non-value added and necessary non value added which causes the waiting time for outpatient pharmacy. Furthermore, using fishbone analysis to determine the cause of the problem and build improvements based on FMEA results. From the research results obtained that waste that often occurs is waiting that occurs in the taking of drugs. The recommended improvements are the addition of human resources in the collection and compounding of drugs, classifying and allocating types of drugs based on the speed of the drug and the implementation of 5S in BPJS outpatient pharmacy.

Enhancing Hospital Pharmacy Operations Through Lean and Six Sigma Strategies: A Systematic Review

“…A central theme from the comprehensive review was the significant improvement in operational efficiency within hospital pharmacies. Several studies [ 60 , 61 , 64 , 74 , 86 , 95 ] provided quantitative evidence of this enhancement, showing notable efficiency increases ranging from 7% to 88%. These advancements signify a shift in focus toward optimizing pharmacy operations by efficiently utilizing resources and streamlining processes for better productivity.…”

Analisis Waste di Instalasi Farmasi Rawat Jalan Rumah Sakit dengan Pendekatan Lean Management: Literature Review

“…Ketika banyak petugas yang berlalu lalang di ruang farmasi tentunya akan menghambat pergerakan petugas lain yang juga akan mengambil obat. Rak obat perlu diatur sesuai dengan jenis obat apakah merupakan obat fast moving, slow moving ataupun non moving sehingga alur kerja petugas menjadi lebih efisien (10). Jarak antar meja pelayanan juga harus diatur agar tidak terlalu jauh sehingga petugas tidak membutuhkan banyak waktu untuk mencapai meja tersebut (7).…”

“…Penyebab waste of waiting berikutnya adalah kurangnya sumber daya manusia pada bagian instalasi farmasi. Banyak penelitian yang membuktikan bahwa sumber daya manusia merupakan penyebab lamanya pelayanan obat di instalasi farmasi (8,10,12). Dalam Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 72 Tahun 2016 tentang Standar Pelayanan Kefarmasian di Rumah Sakit, dijelaskan bahwa rasio perbandingan tenaga apoteker dengan pasien adalah 1:50 sehingga 1 apoteker dapat melayani 50 pasien.…”
