Background: In today’s competitive environment, supply chain management plays a vital role in enhancing organizational effectiveness. The pharmaceutical supply chain, due to its complexity, multiple stakeholders, and direct link to community health, is of particular importance. Sustainability in this chain, considering economic, social, and environmental dimensions, has emerged as a modern approach in health systems. This study aimed to prioritize the factors influencing sustainable pharmaceutical supply chain management in hospital pharmacies of Yazd in 2024.
methods: This study was an applied, cross-sectional analytical study based on expert opinion. Data were collected in the third quarter of 1403 (2024) using a researcher-developed questionnaire based on the SCOR model, comprising 59 items across five dimensions: reliability, responsiveness, flexibility, cost, and asset management. The study population included hospital pharmacies in public, private, and charitable hospitals in Yazd.
Results: Twenty pharmaceutical experts participated in the study, of whom 65% were female and 35% male. The mean age of participants was 35.25 ± 9.74 years, and the mean work experience was 15.9 years. The mean scores for the dimensions of sustainable pharmaceutical supply chain management were as follows: reliability 18.00 ± 2.45, responsiveness 17.05 ± 2.96, cost 11.95 ± 2.68, flexibility 10.00 ± 3.20, and asset management 4.60 ± 1.73.
Conclusion: The results highlight the necessity of an integrated approach in pharmaceutical supply chain management. Enhancing reliability and flexibility, along with cost control, improved responsiveness, and effective asset management, can ensure the sustainability of this chain. It is recommended that health policymakers focus on developing technological infrastructures, increasing transparency, and reinforcing accountability systems in hospital pharmacies.
