Abstract

Cost management in healthcare organizations plays a strategic role in creating value for the patient. In this scenario, medicines represent a significant portion of costs in health organizations, so their internal logistics should work in the best possible way. A strategy to achieve such efficiency is the unidose process. The present study aims to evaluate the financial feasibility of the unidose process automation in a public hospital. The main costs and savings due to the automation were listed and to assess the financial statement the simple payback and discounted payback were used. Through the simple payback result, the financial return would occur in 5.06 years, while the discounted payback pointed a financial return in 5.71 years. Though the initial investment, automation decreases overall costs and turns more concise the productivity, thus improving efficiency to the process.
