ABSTRACT
Objective: In order to meet the training requirement for the vocational education and achieve the technical training of the specialty of medical equipment maintenance technology which is newly launched by the Beijing Health Vocational College, practical training equipments for professional core courses teaching are needed to be developed. Methods: The practical training equipments are reconstructed from the usual clinical equipments by improving the exterior structure and setting typical malfunctions for basic test points. Results:Beijing Health Vocational College successively developed 18 items including 264 training equipments and primarily built the Medical Equipment Maintenance Technology Training Center which has Electronic Technology Training Room, Medical Electronic Equipment Training Room, Medical Laboratory Science Equipment and Ultrasonic Equipment Training Room and X-ray Equipment Training Room. Conclusion:Practical training equipments have high value for practice teaching and social training.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To optimize the allocation scheme of military medical equipments based on the characteristics of modern war and the progression of the military medical equipment of People's Liberation Army (PLA). Methods: Aiming to optimize the allocation of military medical equipment, we designed the integrated framework of the allocation system and analyzed the need of optimized allocation. Using the linear programming and queuing theory, we established the optimized allocation models for both medical treatment equipments and evacuation equipments. Results: Based on the health service characteristics of military medical equipments, the optimized allocation models for medical treatment equipments and evacuation equipments were successfully established. The application of the established models was studied in the medical service station of the division level. Conclusion: The optimized allocation scheme of military medical equipment has been proposed in the present study, which provides evidence for decision-making on the future development of military medical equipments of PLA.
ABSTRACT
Net present value (NPV) is explained as follows:If the difference between the net cash inflow of the years within the lifespan of an investment project and the initial investment amount is greater than zero after being converted to present value,it proves the project as financially feasible.With a computerized laminagram camera of the radiology department of a hospital as example,the paper described the use of NPV in performance appraisal of large medical equipments.NVP can scientifically evaluate investment performance of the equipment,and remedy weakness of the recovery period method,making it highly practical.Better hospital information system serves as the cornerstone for more accurate net present value indicators.Reinforced management for equipment controllable costs and cutback of cash outflow are effective means to upgrade equipment performance.
ABSTRACT
In order to meet the requirements of logistic supply in peacetime and wartime, General Health Department developed Managerial and Maintenance System of Army Medical Equipments, which is the important subject of 10th 5-year Army Medical Research. This system is based upon Basic Medical Equipments Distribution Standard, Army Medical Equipments Management System, joint support system and three-level maintenance network. An efficient platform for whole-survival-circle medical equipments monitoring is developed using computer information technology. This system can greatly advance the informatized, normative management of medical equipments, and thus is of avail in military and economic aspects.
ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to investigate the use of medical equipment in patients receiving home care service. The subjects of this study were 88 patients cared by seven home care nursed who were registered in the Seoul Nurses Association. Data was collected from Aug. 1, 1998 to Dec. 30, 1998. The findings are as follows. 1. The sample was found to be 55.7% female : 51.7% over 65 years old. 75% with neurologic disease including CVA, brain tumor, ICH, Parkinsonism & Spinal stenosis and 78.4% living in Seoul. The Clinical experience of the home care nurses was greater than five years. 2. Medical equipment which the patients port sensed were folly catheters(61.4%), L-tubes(59.1%) and tracheostomy tubes(51.1%). 3. Technical difficulties in use of medical equipment were related to home care ventilators(60.0%), L-tubes(3.8%) and tracheostomy tubes (2.2%) 4. Most of the medical equipment were obtained from the hospital where they had been admitted previously or from medical equipment companies. 5. Complications from the use of this equipment were infection through invasive techniques Including wound drainage tubes(50%), and IV injections(22.2%), The complications were resolved through referral to the doctor of the hospital where they were previously admitted or through community health centers. 6. Most of the equipment was disposable, and equipment was disinfected by using various methods including boiling and soaking in antiseptic solutions. These findings suggest that consistant policy on the management of medical equipment is necessary for the safety of home care patients.
