Electrical Infrastrucure in Hospitals risks and opportunity for quality healthcare

摘要

The technical suitability of the electrical system and the quality of the electrical energy are of crucial importance for conducting accurate medical diagnostics. The significance of this issue is still not fully aware of medical specialists - are no exception cases of divergent outcomes, giving rise to ambiguous interpretation by medical professionals conducted medical researches and consequent prescription of active treatment. Ignorance of this problem hampers the effective use of modern medical equipment and raises a number of issues related to making optimal decisions often related to human life, for timely identification of emerging health problems of seeking medical help and take action to provide quality medical treatment. The technical suitability of the electrical infrastructure in hospitals is associated not only with the quality of electricity but also with other significant problems - ensuring the technical safety of expensive medical equipment in case of overloading the electrical network of newly connected medical equipment. The growing volume of electricity consumed is the other current problem of medical institutions. These problems have found a place in the proposed development by focusing on solutions related to the discovery of new opportunities to increase the reliability of the electrical network in hospitals, in accordance with the technical characteristics of medical electrical equipment; scenarios are proposed for negotiating better price conditions for the supplied electricity; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on electricity consumption in hospitals is assessed.
