ABSTRACT

Objetivo Utilizar técnicas de clustering para caracterizar a los proveedores de servicios de mantenimiento de una institución de salud. Métodos El estudio analiza el inventario del equipamiento perteneciente a 7 áreas pilotos (264 equipos médicos). Se aplican técnicas de clustering usando 26 variables. Entre las más significativas: el tiempo de respuesta (RT), la duración de las intervenciones (DR), la disponibilidad y el tiempo de cambio de estado (TAT). Resultados La obsolescencia del equipo biomédico en promedio es de 0,78. Se identifican 4 grupos de proveedores de servicios. Grupos (1 y 3): Mejor desempeño, menores valores de TAT, RT y DR; cuyos proveedores son: O, L, C, B, I, S, H, F, G; representan el 56 por ciento del total; con valores de TAT entre: 1,4 días

Objective Using clustering techniques for characterising companies providing health institutions with maintenance services. Methods The study analysed seven pilot areas' equipment inventory (264 medical devices). Clustering techniques were applied using 26 variables. Response time (RT), operation duration (OD), availability and turnaround time (TAT) were amongst the most significant ones. Results Average biomedical equipment obsolescence value was 0.78. Four service provider clusters were identified: clusters 1 and 3 had better performance, lower TAT, RT and DR values (56 percent of the providers coded O, L, C, B, I, S, H, F and G, had 1 to 4 day TAT values:
