Abstract

In order to keep the quality in the services and the reduction of the hospital expenses, it is important that the responsible manager for the hospital pharmacy uses the resources for a stock control, because the expenses with medicines in this environment are high. Therefore, the ABC curve and the XYZ classification aim to direct the decision for a stock management, establishing acquisition priorities, maintaining a adequate stock control and consequently decreasing unnecessary spending. The present study is descriptive, quantitative and documental, based on the method of analysis and data collection about the consumption of antimicrobials in a philanthropic hospital of the Minas Gerais, between October 2020 to September 2021, with the aim of creating ABC curve and XYZ classification of standardized antimicrobials in the hospital. From 38 listed antimicrobials 7,9% are of the Class A and represent 76,0% of the expenses, 18,4% are of the Class B and comprise 18,1% of the total expenses and 73,3% are of the Class C and represent 5,9% of the antimicrobial expenses in the hospital during the study period. Regarding the XYZ rating, the Class X, Y and Z are composed, respectively, for 42,0%, 37,0% and 21,0% of the used antimicrobials in the hospital. In the present study there was a large consumption of meropenem, piperacillin/tazobactam and linezolid, possibly due to the use of these drugs for the treatment of Covid-19 complications. The results of the present study will support the manager on definition of priorities for antimicrobial acquisition and stock control.
