“…Medical equipment must correspond to local clinical needs, as well as be accurate and reliable in the environment for which they are used, in order to generate safety and effectiveness for health care. 1 Medical device incorporation as defined by Wang "Is the entire process of absorbing technology into a health system or organization through planning, selection, and acquisition, with emphasis on its dependence on technology policies and continuous feedback from technology management." 2 The acquisition process of hospital equipment requires a defined criteria to make the comparison possible between different equipment from different brands and models and to the ensure ease of incorporation in the hospital for a specific application.…”

This project aims to demonstrate a multi-parametric method of hospital technology comparison. The main goal was to develop a method to assist the clinical and hospital engineering team, in the process of acquisition and incorporation of medical-hospital equipment, to be used as a tool in the comparison stage of brand options and models of available equipment in the market. The method is composed by groups of criteria or characteristics that can be evaluate referring to the technologies to be compared. This method was applied to compare autoclaves and disinfecting machines that would be purchased to install in a Material Central and Sterilization (CME) in a hospital in the south of Brazil. As a result, it was obtained the classifications with the final scoring referring to each brand and model of technology. It also contributed significantly to assist the choice definition of the equipment, considering the hospital and technology profile, as well as the requirements and expectations of the multi-professional technical group of evaluators and users.

“…Based on the participants' responses, the authors concluded that the decision making process to introduce a new medical equipment was not based on evidence, and therefore, recommended that the hospitals should establish a formal HTA process that would involve clinical engineers to integrate medical equipment in the hospitals. The HTA process would be separate from a technical evaluation for procurement decisions (16).…”

Background: The Improvement in healthcare as provided by new modern equipment is associated with the rise in healthcare cost. Lebanon’s economy and its public healthcare sector might be struggling with a crisis stimulated by the absence of any legal limit for the sophisticated medical equipment number per population density. Purpose: to assess the current methodology for health technology incorporation used by the Lebanese hospitals, and to propose an incorporation model guiding them in medical devices acquisition. Methodology: combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches were used in addition to a proposed incorporation models with an applied case study on it. Questionnaires were distributed among 34 hospitals, with a response rate of 82.35%, and interviews were conducted with five biomedical managers. Results: The study shows that only 7% of mangers know what Health Technology Assessment (HTA) means, and none of these hospitals use HTA reports. Additionally, 71% of hospitals don’t monitor their incorporation process and only 4% evaluate the purchased devices’ utilization. Based on the qualitative analysis, the lack of proper need assessment, market study, and poor supplier evaluation were the main reasons behind poor incorporation processes. Conclusion: We found that hospitals lack a proper incorporation process as evident in their poor methodology, hence recommendations were to follow a formalized process for medical device incorporation. However when it comes to the Ministry of Public Health, the recommendations were to formalize and apply new laws and regulations for the certificate of needs.
