Individuals with transtibial amputations have difficulties in performing march

This study shows a decision model to the indicators acquisition in hospital medical equipment incorporation, based on three domains: decision making, technology assessment and Health Technology (HT) incorporation. When decision making is concerned, an analysis, synthesis and valuation context are approached, as well as the relation to the ways of making both being reflective or deliberate decision. The technology assessment domain corresponds to the choice and applying of multi-criteria methods in supporting the decision, such as: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Multi-Attribute Failure Mode Analysis (MAFMA), Elimination and Choice Translating Reality (ELECTRE) among others. On the other hand, the HT incorporation domain, the stages of incorporation of HT, which are divided in planning, proposal production and receiving, installation and management. From all of this, a supporting model to the decision to create indicators within the HT incorporation process, as well as to the HT management was obtained. The modeling of the incorporation process, through architecture of three domains, aids the Clinical Engineering need in managing of the medical hospital technology intending to an adequate usage. With the proposed methodology, one can obtain indicators to assist decision making in the process of HT incorporation.
