A new generation web-based medical equipment management system

Abstract

Healthcare delivery, today, is entirely technology-oriented and medical equipment plays a major role in improving the quality of patient care. However, the increased number of medical equipment installed in hospitals leads to problems associated with their proper management. In such an environment, with strong demands for high level health services and as low as possible costs, the rational management of medical equipment becomes particularly crucial. Therefore Clinical Engineering Departments (CEDs) in hospitals need to implement comprehensive Medical Technology Management programs, which should be able to address complex and multidimensional tasks requiring special expertise and dedicated tools in order to achieve the best results.
