  • Status of Clinical Engineering in the United States: Professional issues
    Proceedings of the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 1992
    Co-Authors: Yadin David
    Abstract:

    Clinical Engineering, as a profession, has come of age. This global phenomena of a professional genesis that is felt through the Clinical Engineering field is enhanced by the progress achieved by Clinical engineers in the U.S.A. As the need for educated specialties, especially those with Engineering and science skills, is increasing, so does the burden on the Clinical Engineering profession to assure that its members practice at the highest level possible. The commitment to practice with Engineering vision, composed of knowledge, courage, leadership, value, and quality, is benefitting the U.S. healthcare delivery system.

  • Benchmarking Clinical Engineering Program
    The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 1
    Co-Authors: Yadin David
    Abstract:

    Professional labor shortage in healthcare delivery system and specifically the management of staffing effectiveness in Clinical Engineering field are recent developments where shortage of comparative information exist and almost no information on its impact on performance outcomes. We attempted over the past few years to define and measure optimal application of manpower to medical technology management in the hospital setting. Others who studied in this issue suggested several indicators that can predict manpower loading and efficiency; however, the assessment model is yet to be tested. So far, studies showed that the best predictor of staffing needs is the medical technology level of comprehensiveness, the volume of the managed inventory, the conditions of the inventory and the competency of the labor force and management model deployed. This presentation will attempt to review the suggested indicators and a proposal for data collection that can be used as benchmark for comparing Clinical Engineering programs.

  • Methodology for Human Resource Management for Development of Competencies in Clinical Engineering
    V Latin American Congress on Biomedical Engineering CLAIB 2011 May 16-21 2011 Habana Cuba, 2013
    Co-Authors: A. E. Margotti, P. Avelar, R Garcia
    Abstract:

    This paper presents the methodology of human resource management adopted to Health Technology Management Centre applied for to public hospitals network in Santa Catarina, Brazil. In order to create competenceis in Clinical Engineering, the methodology encourages educations, qualifications and updating activities for the Clinical Engineering team and training of health professionals for appropriate use of technology. In order to impact the quality of health service, Clinical Engineering should seek to analyze the technological process on the important need to develop human resources trained and qualified.

  • the multicriteria analysis for construction of benchmarkers to support the Clinical Engineering in the healthcare technology management
    European Journal of Operational Research, 2010
    Co-Authors: Luciano De Moraes, R Garcia, Leonardo Ensslin, Mario Jose Da Conceicao, Stella Maris De Carvalho
    Abstract:

    In developing countries, approximately half of the healthcare equipments are not in full use and the main cause of this is the inadequate management of them. The Clinical Engineering might face this problem in the healthcare environment analyzing the equipment with a health technological process perspective to identify opportunities of improvements. Generally, the inadequate management is a result of lack of systemized and contextualized information about the health technological process. The effort to make an adequate management generates an increasing interest in the use of benchmarker. Currently, the benchmarkers used by the Clinical Engineering are not representative of a health technological process as a whole. Health technological process concept is stated in this article. The multicriteria analysis methodology MCDA (Multicriteria Decision Aid) is used to obtain benchmarkers and to identify opportunities of improvements, thus generating conditions for that the Clinical Engineering consolidates its relevant contribution for the healthcare.

  • Clinical Engineering and the Health Technological Process
    World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering 2006, 2007
    Co-Authors: Luciano De Moraes, R Garcia, F. M. Azevedo
    Abstract:

    The developing countries have problems with the integration of medical technologies in healthcare. The Clinical Engineering acts on management of healthcare structure, for a long time. Nevertheless, data from World Health Organization reveal that approximately 50% of medical technologies are not in full utilization in these countries. The Clinical Engineering, as one of the actors accountable on the management of healthcare structure, it must not to restrict only to the structure management, but it must to act in the healthcare process management as well. This means getting improvements in the quality of the interactions of medical equipments, the infrastructure and the human resources. For this, it is necessary to get an adequate process modeling, using tools to depict the process context. It was used the context diagrams from UML (Unified Modeling Language). They give a better comprehension of the structure and its interactions that they occur in any process. This work presents the context diagrams of a cardiovascular surgery center in a pediatric hospital in Florianopolis city, Brazil. The UML is a tool it can be used for Clinical Engineering to supply a suitable perspective of the health technological process context. It has been utilized the UML and a multicriteria analysis methodology, in which the information gathered assists in the implementation of a decision support system. The aim of this work is aiding the Clinical Engineering to guide their actions for the implementation of a model of improvement to the healthcare process, named medical technology management, and thus promoting a better integration of Clinical Engineering in these multi-disciplinary environments.

  • Clinical Engineering in medical technology assessment
    Proceedings of the 25th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37439), 2003
    Co-Authors: J.f. Kolzer, R Garcia
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this paper is to identify the participation of Clinical Engineering in medical technology assessment (MTA); to assess the viability of implementing a MTA in public health care organizations in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil; and to discuss the tools that Clinical engineer could use in the MTA within this context. Literature review has revealed few participation of Clinical Engineering in MTA at a macro level, and a significant participation at an institutional level, particularly in private hospitals in the USA. The implementation of a program of MTA at an institutional level could be feasible in the health care organizations (HCOs) that have been surveyed but the importance of MTA as a helpful tool in decision-making should be good understood by hospital administrators and governmental financial backer. The results from MTA in different HCOs would enable to improve the efficiency of allocation of resources performed by governmental entities to public HCOs. However, because of the short period in which teams of Clinical Engineering work in HCOs, much information about medical technologies in these HCOs are not available. This issue, together with the short knowledge about tools for MTA, it could restrict the implementation of programs of MTA in these HCOs.

  • Clinical Engineering and Information Technology
    World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering 2006, 1
    Co-Authors: Douglas Guedert, R. Fernandez, F. M. Azevedoand, R Garcia
    Abstract:

    Clinical Engineering (CE) is constantly looking for new alternatives that help health environment information control. Combining the management concept of CE with Information Technology (IT) application, one can add reliability and uniformity in the complied data. The velocity and remote access to information about Clinical Engineering activities can definitely help in the overall decision making process. In that same line of though this research project developed a new medical equipment management system, using PDA (personal digital assistant) as an IT tool for transfer and storage of information via wireless.
