Managing the costs of medical equipment maintenance: what is the best way?

摘要

Distributed model: All charges are paid by the department that uses the services. This means that surgery would budget and pay for all surgery expenses, parts, and contracts.Centralized model: All costs are centralized into a single medical equipment maintenance budget, controlled by biomedical engineering. This budget includes all in-house costs, external costs, contracts, and all overhead for biomedical engineering department operations.
