The aim of the study is to analyze medical material stocks in the hospitals affiliated to the General Directorate of Public Hospitals (KHGM) according to ABC, VED and ABC-VED Matrix stock control methods. ABC, VED and ABC-VED matrix stock control methods, which classify medical materials according to both cost and vital importance, are used in the study. As a result of the research, the share of medical supplies purchases in 2017 in the total hospital budget is determined as 11.47%. In ABC analysis, the amount of medical equipment is determined as 69.63%, 20.04% and 10.32% of A, B and C group materials, respectively. In VED analysis, the amount of V, E, D group materials are determined as 50.95%, 25.72% and 23.33%, respectively. According to ABC-VED matrix analysis, medical material stocks are classified into three categories. According to this analysis, the amount of medical equipment that is both vital and costly in category I, which should be subject to strict control in terms of inventory control, is 1,933,545,273-TL (80.35%), the amount of category II medical equipment with an intermediate stock control audit and alternative is 436,984,756-TL (18.16%) and in category III, both the cost and the amount of medical materials with low vital importance are determined as 35,836,943-TL (1.49%). As a result, the use of ABC, VED and ABC-VED matrix stock control methods is suggested as an administrative tool to manage the cost of medical supplies in hospitals in a cost-effective manner.
