Hospital pharmacy installations have an important role in managing medicines such as selection, planning, procurement, storage, distribution, and use of medicines.

This study uses a Scoping Review method of research using a qualitative approach. Searching for research data sources used the PRISMA-ScR flow diagram which came from several databases such as Google Scholar, ProQuest, and Science Direct. Where published in the last 5 years (2019-2023). Search results using the database obtained 1524 articles. After that, we checked the research location and the year the article was submitted, 1517 articles did not meet the inclusion criteria. A SWOT analysis was carried out from the seven articles. SWOT analysis is the most appropriate analysis for carrying out drug planning in hospitals.
