RESUMO
With the revision of the Medical Service Law in April 2005, it has become incumbent on clinical engineers to take charge of medical equipment in their hospital and to run a maintenance check on the equipment at regular intervals. However, it is difficult to show what clinical engineers have done as visualized achievements, for no insurance mark to the maintenance and management business itself. By using the accumulated maintenance records and a new medical equipment management system - the Arcadia company’s “CEIA system” installed in April 2010. We considered the cost performance of the medical equipment could be enhanced through the efforts of clinical engineers. For this purpose, we made the list of technical fees to be paid if a clinical engineer should entrust temporarily the maintenance management to an equipment maker and calculated the cost item by item. Moreover, the items which were checked and repaired were divided into those “outsourced” and those taken care of by hospital clinical engineers. When trial calculations were made using “in-house processing-outsourcing＝achievements” formula, we had about 50 million yen or more.
