Effective, efficient and economical management of medical devices in hospital

Today, medical devices are used extensively in healthcare facilities for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. This situation is increasing day by day; devices are developing technologically. Health facilities should ensure the use of medical devices at a reliable and adequate performance level. In addition, it is also important to carry out studies within the scope of TGAP (Savings and Income Increasing Program), which is being developed in public institutions. Providing reliable and uninterrupted service within the scope of TGAP for advanced technology medical devices, which are used extensively in healthcare facilities, will be possible by updating the current management style. In this study, medical device management was designed and carried out with four basic processes. These are: Medical device procurement, medical device training activities, biomedical workshops and studies that can be carried out after the separation of medical devices to HEK (Scrap Debris Köhne). The pilot study was carried out at Tavşanlı Doç. Dr. Mustafa Kalemli State Hospital. At the end of the study, quantitative and qualitative analyzes of the fault data obtained from the HBYS (Hospital Information Management System) database were made. During the nine-month period, 146 fault records were received; 94.52% of these malfunctions were repaired in the institution's workshop. Thus, the necessity of the practices in the pilot study was supported and studies that could be carried out in addition to the existing management style were suggested. As a result of the study; Positive results such as uninterrupted service delivery, material and service savings, effective management and support for applied training were achieved.
