- Abstract
Critical issues in inventory and supply chain management for drug tracking within healthcare systems are examined in this paper, focusing on ensuring timely drug delivery, reducing wastage, and improving patient safety. Traditional methods of inventory management have always been plagued with the issues of stockouts, overstocking, and errors in medication-all negatives to health care. The paper develops the Drug Inventory and Supply Chain Tracking System (DISCTS), which incorporates advanced features such as cloud computing, and blockchain. The introduction of DISCTS aims to improve inventory accuracy, reduce the stockouts, and enhance traceability of drugs so that the risks generated by spurious drugs may be minimized. In comparison, while most solutions tend to rely on outdated manual processes or piecemeal technologies, the strategy behind DISCTS is a holistic, integrated approach relying on real-time data and sophisticated analytics. These technologies are found to reduce, when adopted, operations within drug supply chains drastically in order to enhance health results. This research will then reveal the truth that technology takes center stage in pharmaceutical inventory management in establishing an efficient and reliable health delivery system to serve as a reference point for further research and practice in the field.
