Engineering Department

The primary aim of a hospital Clinical Engineering Department (CED) is to ensure a safe and cost-effective operation of the medical devices. In order to achieve this goal, it needs to implement and establish a comprehensive biomedical technology management program, which is a complex and multidimensional task. This work presents a medical devices management software system to assist the CED in healthcare, and it appears, as a result, of an effort to re-engineer and rebuild such an old, successful management system. The findings of this re-engineering attempt are presented. The goal was the incorporation of the new trends in clinical engineering and medical devices management and the exploitation of the new capabilities provided by the modern software tools and platforms. The system is expected to respond to the changing healthcare environment demands, the increased efforts required, and the respective broader role that CEDs have to play.

Ensure Patient Safety

The performance and interpretation of ultrasound examination are very user-dependent that require significant training and experience. This chapter details the processes that should be adopted within an intensive care unit using point-of-care ultrasound to ensure that practitioners are appropriately trained and are able to maintain and develop their skills. The chapter also outlines recommendations regarding good practice in reporting and image storage, together with guidance regarding equipment management, to ensure patient safety.
