Abstract:
In the hospital, the management of medical equipment is a series of activities from budget planning to equipment disposing. The overall activities focus on issues such as quality, safety, performance, cost, and profit. An efficient and effective management system is necessary for supervising these goals. The main problem faced in most of the Lebanese hospitals is the over load that is applied from both paper work and maintenance issues at the same time, resulting in department breakdown and/or limitations. In this paper, we show an equipment service life-cycle model applied in these activities for in-house clinical engineering department, beside an in-house cycle management, in addition to a tool of communication with the other departments in the hospital. Some information systems were built by the management system and the information of management operations in clinical engineering department can be systematically collected and revealed at different life-cycle stages by these systems. Through the management system, we can easily integrate the management activities and improve medical care quality and patient’s safety.
