Design of a Web-based Medical Equipment Management System for Clinical Engineering

摘要

Objective: Medical equipment safety in clinical use has been an increasingly concerned issue in China. This paper aims to design and implement a web-based medical equipment maintenance system to be used at clinical engineering department, orienting to the improvement of quality and efficiency of technology service so as to meet the 2010 regulations homologated with China's Ministry of Health. Methods:The system adopted three-layer structure based on B/S mode with oracle database and ASP.NET development technologies. Based on risk management and inclusion criteria for maintenance, the software system modules consist of hospital equipment inventory management, personnel information management, breakdown maintenance, preventive maintenance (PM) and analysis graphical representations. Results:An user friendly web interface was provided for easy and secure access to the system. Medical equipment management activities from log-in to acceptance test to maintenance services were implemented. Conclusion:The application of this system has achieved benefits for the risk management of medical equipment.
