Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHO and partners have been working towards devising an agenda, an action plan, tools and guidelines to increase access to appropriate medical devices. This document is part of a series of reference documents being developed for use at the country level. The series will include the following subject areas: * policy framework for health technology * medical device regulations * health technology assessment * health technology management * needs assessment of medical devices * medical device procurement * medical equipment donations * medical equipment inventory management * medical equipment maintenance * computerized maintenance management systems * medical device data * medical device nomenclature * medical devices by health-care setting * medical devices by clinical procedures * medical device innovation, research and development. These documents are intended for use by biomedical engineers, health managers, donors, nongovernmental organizations and academic institutions involved in health technology at the district, national, regional or global levels. HTA is the systematic evaluation of properties, effects, and/or impacts of health technology. Its main purpose is to inform technology-related policy-making in health care, and thus improve the uptake of cost-effective new technologies and prevent the uptake of technologies that are of doubtful value for the health system. It is one of three complementary functions to ensure the appropriate introduction and use of health technology. The other two components are regulation, which is concerned with safety and efficacy, and assessment of all significant intended as well as unintended consequences of technology use; and management, which is concerned with the procurement and maintenance of the technology during its life-cycle. The performance of health systems is strengthened when the linkages and exchange among these elements are clearly differentiated but mutually supportive. This document integrates health technology assessment into the WHO framework for evidence-informed policy-making. Health systems are strengthened when HTA is integrated into the human and material resources, data, transparent decision- and policy-making, and linked to the overall vision of equity and accountability. Good governance can rely on health technology assessment to provide a policy approach that is accountable for its decisions to the population.
Download or read book Biomedical Equipment Maintenance and Repair Naval Regional Medical Center Camp Pendleton California written by Jack D. Chapman and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent growth in the field of biomedical equipment technology has been rapid, producing a proliferation of increasingly complex medical devices. In order to assure continuous, efficient, and accurate utilization of equipment, a comprehensive, well designed maintenance and repair program is mandatory. Many facilities use service contracts to assist indigenous biomedical staffs in maintaining their equipment. This study attempts to determine the optimal method for a cost effective management system to be used in deciding whether individual medical equipment items are to be contracted out for maintenance and repair, or serviced by in house Biomedical Equipment Technicians. The cost effective model was developed specifically for the NRMC at Camp Pendelton, but nothing would preclude its use at other Navy hospitals. Keywords: Health care facilities, Biomedical equipment maintenance, Preventive management. (sdw/kt).

This book was released on 1994-12 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to the maintenance and repair of essential laboratory and hospital equipment. Intended for use in institutions that do not have specially trained technicians or engineers the book responds to the situation frequently seen in developing countries where much of the equipment is imported and adequate information on maintenance and repair is rarely provided by suppliers. With these special needs in mind the manual aims to help staff using specific types of equipment to understand basic principles of construction and operation adopt good working practices avoid common errors perform routine maintenance and spot the early signs of defects or deterioration. Advice on equipment repair concentrates on common causes of problems that can be solved without expertise in engineering. Throughout the manual line drawings illustrate features of construction and design while numerous checklists offer advice on periodic inspection and cleaning good working practices and the essential do's don'ts must's and never's of routine operation and maintenance. Information ranges from the steps to follow when recharging batteries through advice on how to protect microscopes in hot climates to instructions for changing a blown fuse in an ultrasound scanner. Basic safety procedures for protecting staff as well as patients are also described. The most extensive chapter covers the maintenance and repair of basic laboratory equipment moving from autoclaves and incubators to cell counters and systems for water purification. The remaining chapters describe the correct use maintenance and repair of diagnostic equipment anaesthetic and resuscitation equipment operating room equipment and ultrasound and X-ray diagnostic equipment.

Download or read book Evidence Based Maintenance of Medical Equipment written by Binseng Wang and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-29 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instead of blindly following manufacturers' maintenance recommendations, Clinical Engineering (CE), also known as Health Technology Management (HTM), professionals can use a method similar to Evidence-Based Medicine to keep medical equipment safe and reliable while using judiciously their limited resources. Evidence-Based Maintenance (EBM) analyzes the causes of equipment failures and uses these results to continually improve maintenance. EBM is particularly suited for those who want to take advantage of the Alternate Equipment Management (AEM) program allowed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) because it allows comparison of different maintenance strategies and provides concrete evidence to prove the safety and effectiveness of the AEM program adopted.
