Evaluation Of Logistic System On Hematology Commodities In Nifas Silk Lafto Sub City Public Health Centers Addis Ababa Ethiopia

Background: Laboratory logistics management information system (LLMIS) is the managementrnof laboratory commodities, such as reagents, consumables, chemicals, equipment and otherrndurables in a systematic and standardized way. Its purpose is to obtain and move commodities inrna timely fashion to the places where they are needed at a reasonable cost with acceptable qualityrnObjective: To assess Logistic system on Hematology commodities in Nifas Silk Lafto sub cityrnPublic health centers, Addis AbabarnMethods: A facility based cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 10 health facilitiesrnfrom Jan – Feb, 2020 on the logistics management information system of hematology analyzerrnreagents in Nifas Silk Lafto sub city Addis Ababa. Quantitative and qualitative data collectionrnmethods were employed. The quantitative data were entered and analyzed using the StatisticalrnPackage for the Social Sciences version 20 (SPSS). Descriptive statistics computed and resultsrnpresented using tables and graphs. Chi-square test was used to see the association betweenrnselected indicators with reported management supports.rnResults:A total of 20 pharmacy and 44 Laboratory professionals participated in the study fromrnthe ten health centers. 3(15%) and 11(55%) of the facilities had 1-5 IPLS and Lab commodityrnmanagement trained pharmacy staffs respectively. A significant association observed inrnmanagement enforcement on use of IFRR for reporting & resupply with calculatedrnconsumption equal in RRF and CC at all periods( p=0.032 ). From laboratory participantsrn17(38.6%) use all IPLS formats with regard to stock out status it was stated by 12(27.3%) of thernparticipants. Most frequent stock out Hematology reagents were control, cell pack, diluent andrndetergent with 20(45.5%), 7(15.9%), 7(15.9%) and 5(11.4%) respectively. 37(84.1%) laboratoryrnparticipants had got IPLS training through formal training 17(38.6%), colleague 25(56.8%) andrn2(4.5%) from workshop on LMIS respectively. 27(61.4%) were agree that, developing systemrnmanagement will improve LMIS. Causes of successful implementation of LMIS were,rn30(68.1%) staff interest, 6(13.6%) of them knowledge of the project, and team work and 2(4.5%)of them managerial support.rnConclusion and recommendation: Management enforcement on use of IFRR for reporting &rnresupply is important for IPLS implementation. Integrated management support and supervisionrnis recommended for proper implementation of IPLS.
