Cost-benefit analysis of medical equipment / 医疗卫生装备

ABSTRACT

Objective To execute medical equipment cost-benefit analysis to meet the requirements for operation state analysis and evaluation during precision management.Methods The data were collected on CT, MR, DR, DSA, ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, clinical laboratory devices, endoscope set and etc. The evaluation indexes such as annual benefit, cost-profit ratio,rate of return on investment and investment payback period were calculated with a year as the calculating unit.Results When cost-profit ratio was used to evaluate the benefit,clinical laboratory devices and cardiac interventional DSA behaved the most excellent in all the equipment, CT, PET-CT, DR and ultrasonic diagnostic set gained acceptable results, while the radiology interventional DSA, gastrointestinal endoscope set and MR had the results not so satisfactory. Clinical laboratory and DSA devices had high operation costs, and it's suggested that cost control had to be implemented during operation. Conclusion The cost-benefit analysis of medical equipment can provide scientific basis for medical equipment purchasing and operation analysis.
