Study Notes
Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS)
- A CMMS in healthcare technology management helps track and manage maintenance activities, ensuring medical equipment is properly maintained and calibrated to provide accurate diagnoses and treatments.
Hazards Associated with Medical Equipment
- Electrical hazards include short circuits, electrical shocks, and fires.
- Mechanical hazards include moving parts, hot surfaces, and sharp edges.
Grounding System and Isolated Power Distribution System
- The grounding system protects users from electrical shocks by providing a safe path to ground for fault currents.
- The isolated power distribution system prevents electrical shocks by isolating the power supply from the medical equipment.
Technological Innovation in Healthcare
- Appropriate deployment of technological innovation contributes to the quality of healthcare by improving patient outcomes, reducing costs, and enhancing the overall efficiency of healthcare services.
- One reason this is NOT the case is because of a lack of standardization of innovative technologies across hospitals.
Hospital Resources
- A significant portion of a hospital's resources is mainly used for purchasing and maintaining medical equipment.
Medical Technology Management Programs
- Medical technology management programs are developed to address the acquisition, maintenance, and safe operation of medical equipment.
Easier Management of Medical Equipment
- Implementing a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) would lead to easier management of medical equipment in hospitals.
Hospital Investments
- The most sizable investment in hospitals is in medical equipment and technology.
