Quantitative Assessment of Effectiveness and Utilization of Medical Equipment

The problem of operational efficiency assessment medical equipment is becoming crucial, due to its increasing requirement in hospitals. It has been observed that a significant amount out service for several reasons such as lack training, maintenance and health technology management. unexpected failures, downtime associated with breakdown make ready, loss production poor costs are the major drawback any hospital. Quality diagnostic treatment care provided patients largely depends on reliability, availability maintainability sophisticated equipment. Aim present study determine quantitatively overall effectiveness utilization some Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) coefficient metric measurement Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) which specifies effective functioning devices. results devices found be below standard 85%. cause low value was performance availability. also needed evaluation necessity, appropriateness use diagnosis treating patient. proposed methodology may able increase working by implementing preventive schedule. validated failure probability reliability machines.
