ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the training mode of continuing education for clinical engineers, and provide reference for the training of clinical engineers.Methods:A total of 31 clinical engineers were selected as the two-stage training mode combined with short-term centralized intensive basic training and standardized post professional training. Comparative analysis of assessment scores before and after training was performed, and the satisfaction of comprehensive effect and post competency improvement after training was evaluated. SPSS 19.0 was used for t-test. Results:The assessment scores after training (85.06±7.31) were significantly higher than those before (69.55±6.74) training ( P = 0.001). The comprehensive training effect of clinical engineers and the satisfaction rate of post competency improvement reached a high level, which were 70.97% (22/31) and 83.87% (26/31), respectively. Conclusion:The two-stage training mode combined with short-term centralized basic intensive training and standardized post professional training can not only effectively improve the theoretical knowledge level, practical ability and post competency of clinical engineers, but also shorten the centralized training time, which is conducive to solving the practical problems that affect the continuing education training program due to the lack of human resources of clinical engineers.
ABSTRACT
Resumen El presente trabajo describe la experiencia que involucro la gestión tecnológica de equipo de médico para el establecimiento de la primera y tercera clínica de mama en la delegación CDMX, Sur, del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) como una estrategia para el desarrollo de un programa nacional de detección temprana, diagnóstico oportuno y tratamiento con calidad óptima, trato cordial y respeto a los derechos de las pacientes. En este sentido se exponen los principales argumentos referentes a los lineamientos utilizados para la evaluación de la tecnología medica en el desempeño de los mastógrafos digitales por ser este el equipo más representativo del proyecto, para lo cual se elaboró una cedula de descripción que fue aplicada en seis equipos de mastografía en la cual se vierten los conceptos que intervienen en el análisis de especificaciones técnicas, destacando la respuesta de los detectores, dosimetría, contraste y calidad de la imagen entre los principales aspectos. Teniendo como premisa el compartir las experiencias obtenidas en la creación de dichas clínicas, y el rol del ingeniero biomédico como parte del equipo multidisciplinario, considerado como un gestor del conocimiento respecto a la optimización de los equipos de imagenologia en cada una de las unidades médicas.
Abstract The present work describes the experience which involved the medical management of medical equipment for the establishment of the first and third breast cancer clinic in the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) Delegation CDMX South to development a national program for detection, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer with optimal quality, friendliness and respect for patients' rights. In this sense it expose the main arguments referring to the guidelines used to validate the performance of digital masthographs, are exposed for being this equipment for the most representative in the project, for which a technical information templates was developed, that applied in six mammography's equipment which are the concepts that intervene in technical specifications analysis, emphasizing the detectors response, dosimetry, contrast and image quality among the main aspects. With the premise of sharing the experiences obtained in the creation of these clinics, and the roll of the biomedical engineer as part of a multidisciplinary team, and considered optimization of knowledge manager as regarding imaging equipment in each of the medical units.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the status quo of clinical engineering departments (CED) in Guangdong province, to find out the main problems and challenges, and to give some suggestions on promoting the development of clinical engineering. Methods Questionnaires were issued to directors or engineers in hospitals on department missions, staff composition, quality control and obstructive factors for discipline development. Statistical analysis was executed for the questionnaires. Results Only 53.19% of the CED operated independently. The daily CE practice in Guangdong hospitals included carrying out procurement, installation, maintenance and archiving. Only 28.0%of the hospitals had QC instruments. The education backgrounds were mainly restrained in undergraduate degree and junior college degree, accounting for 80.0%. Totally 39.0% of the clinical engineers majored in biomedical engineering. The personnel with primary or intermediate professional titles accounted for 61.96%. There was 0.68 engineer per 100 beds or 0.23 engineer per ten million Yuan medical equipment. The top 3 factors that hindered the development of CE were inadequacy of professional staff, low education level and absence of laws and regulations. Conclusion CED in Guangdong province drops behind the outstanding institutions in China, and has to be promoted with the efforts of supervision facilities and etc.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the ways to train qualified clinical engineers,and thereby to enhance the teamwork of clinical engineers.Methods The problems in training the clinical engineer were pointed out in training mode,knowledge reserve,innovation and etc,and some countermeasures were put forward accordingly.Results The countermeasures were proposed from the aspects of basic theoretical system,continuing education system,self-adaptive working mode,enhanced communication and etc.Conclusion The clinical engineer needs to utilize their own advantages to elevate their personal qualities and raise their profiles so as to meet the requirements of social and technological development.
ABSTRACT
This article analyzes the characteristics and present situation of informatized hospital to explore the management mode and reform of medical engineering,and thus lays substantial foundation for the development of informatized hospital.
ABSTRACT
Quality assurance(QA) and Quality Control(QC) of MRI has become very realistic and imperative,which can ensure safety and availability of MRI and improve diagnosis quality.From the practice of the daily grind of MR,the connotation and main content of MR QA and QC are discussed.It is illuminated that MR QA and QC not only should be standardized and systemized,but also needs leaders' recognition and everyone's participation.The responsibility of medical engineers includes emergency maintenance,preventive maintenance,optimization of sequences and parameters,development and application of new techniques Clinical engineers play an irreplaceable and important role in the whole process of MR QA/QC.
ABSTRACT
The main functions of modern Clinical Engineer(CE) is discussed. By combining experience of clinical engineering in developed country with clinical practice in our country, the work character problem of clinical engineering was proposed. According to the reality of equipment management and operation, the function of CE is not only to ensure medical equipment to run normally but also estimate the value of equipment in before buying or abandoning, PSS and technology study. Through the efforts of CE, the main functions of equipment can be made the best, medical therapy and new method research is more efficient.
