Análise comparativa da implantação da engenharia clínica em um hospital de médio porte

Abstract

Faced with advances in the medical industry and the search for better results when using medical equipment, these have become increasingly complex. As a consequence of this complexity, Clinical Engineering has gained more and more recognition in Health Care Establishments, which were previously managed by employees who did not have the expertise to assume the position, and was now occupied by biomedical engineers. The efficient management of this equipment provides the extension of its useful life, in addition to the reduction of costs, with corrective maintenance, by the institution. Because of this, this work presented a comparative analysis of the behavior of a hospital before and after the implementation of Clinical Engineering, seeking to highlight the integrated improvements, through the analysis of quality indicators such as example, average time for repair and compliance with the maintenance plan. It was observed, after the development of the work, the importance of the presence of Clinical Engineering in the hospital, as the well-executed management of the technology park provided positive results in terms of time for repair and the accomplishment of preventive maintenance.
