| dc.description.abstract | ere has been pressure to improve performance of public healthcare services and constraints on public budget, to innovate and improve coordination of information, material and financial flow in order to improve the traditional supply chain performance measures like cost, quality and customer service. The objective of this study is to assess relevance of supply chain performance measurement dimensions and test their effects on the performance of Ethiopian Pharmaceuticals Supply Agency’s Integrated Pharmaceuticals Logistics System. Descriptive research design and Explanatory research have been used for the study. Results indicate that six of the twelve independent variables of the three dimensions (organization and process benefits, financial benefits and set up and operating costs), technological investment (95.8%), safety (95.7%), price trend (93%), standardization (91%), staff specialization (87.3%) and warehouse management (78.57%) are relevant and have statistically strong effect on performance measurement of Integrated Pharmaceutical Logistics System in their order of influence. The study concludes ESTAV is suitable framework for the agency’s Logistics System performance measurement. The study recommended that EPSA should keep up rolling out IPLS to lowest level of facilities to improve overall supply chain performance. Moreover, safety issues to be considered as an important anchor of health system supply chain performance measures, cold chain issues and adequately qualified pharmacists and professionals are suggested to be addressed. Finally, the academia is also suggested to test relevance of the ESTAV framework from service delivery facilities side. | en_US |
