TROYA-TERRANOVA, Tayron César. Analysis of drug procurement processes in public health administration: a systematic review. Revista InveCom [online]. 2026, vol.6, n.1, e601115.  Epub 15-Jul-2025. ISSN 2739-0063.  https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15686659.

The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between operational management efficiency and drug procurement processes in public hospitals, considering aspects such as availability, management, and the sustainability of the health system. To this end, a methodology based on the PRISMA method was used, allowing for a systematic and exhaustive review of six scientific studies published between 2022 and 2025. The search focused on indexed academic sources, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria that ensured the validity and reliability of the information collected. The results revealed that efficient operational management-which includes adequate strategic planning, trained leadership, advanced logistics systems, and effective contracting processes-positively impacts drug availability. This contributes to reducing stock shortages and optimizing the use of resources. However, the lack of adequate implementation and deficiencies in the enforcement of regulations diminish the expected impact, negatively affecting the quality of health services. In conclusion, the analysis demonstrates that administrative efficiency not only improves procurement management but is also a fundamental pillar for ensuring timely access to medicines, strengthening financial sustainability, and improving patient care in the public hospital system.
