“…Medical equipment requires scheduled and unscheduled maintenance during its useful life (WHO, 2011). Hospitals should ensure that medical equipment is kept in working condition, and is safe, accurate, and reliable and operates at the required level of performance effectively (Augustýnek et al, 2018). Lack of proper maintenance of medical equipment leads to equipment downtime, reduces the level of device performance, and wastes costs and resources.…”

Purpose Effective maintenance management of medical equipment is one of the major issues for quality of care and cost-effectiveness especially in modern hospitals. An effective medical equipment maintenance management (MEMM) consists of adequate planning, management and implementation. This is essential for providing good health services and saving scarce resources. Considering the importance of the subject, the purpose of this paper is to extract the influential factors on MEMM using a qualitative approach. Design/methodology/approach Documents review and interviews were main methods for data collection. Semi structured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 14 clinical engineers with different degree of education and job levels. Interviews were voice recorded and transcribed verbatim. Qualitative data were analyzed using a content analysis approach (inductive and deductive) to identify the underlying themes and sub-themes. Findings Factors influencing an effective and efficient MEMM system categorized in seven themes and 19 sub-themes emerged. The themes included: “resources,” “quality control,” “information bank,” “education,” “service,” “inspection and preventive maintenance” and “design and implementation.” Originality/value The proposed framework provides a basis for a comprehensive and accurate assessment of medical equipment maintenance. The findings of this study could be used to improve the profitability of healthcare facilities and the reliability of medical equipment.

“…Throughout its useful life, medical equipment requires both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. Medical equipment should be kept in good functioning order, be safe, accurate, and dependable, and perform at the needed level of performance efficiently (Augustynek et al, 2018). Medical equipment that is not properly maintained results in downtime, lowers device performance and wastes money and resources.…”

Today, the business environment is highly competitive and faced with continuously changing technology. Globalization and the changing needs of customers contribute to the challenges of business organizations. To meet up these challenges, organizations need to properly and continuously train and develop their employees. As a result, this research looks into the impact of training and development on the performance of public hospitals in Abuja-FCT, Nigeria. The distribution of a structured questionnaire was required by a survey research design of a (5-point Likert scale). 353 from the total population of 2997 randomly selected employees in the Fourteen ( 14) general hospitals in Abuja-FCT, Nigeria. 305 questionnaires were filled out by the respondents. Hypotheses tests were carried out and they revealed that there was a major connection between orientation as a training and development method and patient waiting time.

“…Inadequate maintenance of medical equipment causes downtime, reduces device performance, and wastes costs and resources. As a result, medical equipment requires both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance throughout its useful life and close monitoring by healthcare administrators [5]. Hospitals should ensure that medical equipment is kept in working order, is safe, accurate, and reliable, and functions at the appropriate level of performance successfully.…”

Intensive care units commonly utilize mechanical ventilators to treat patients with different medical conditions, which are crucial for patient care and survival. ICU ventilators have evolved through four distinct generations, each displaying unique features. Despite progress made since the 1940s, contemporary designs are insufficient to meet the increasing needs of patients and hospitals. Malfunctions in mechanical ventilators pose significant dangers to patients, highlighting the importance of focusing on their safety, security, precision, and dependability. Our study aims to address the significant issue at hand. Furthermore, the IoT industry has garnered significant attention because of rapid progress in smart devices, sensors, and actuators. The healthcare industry has seen a notable increase in health data as a result of the growing utilization of IoT and cloud computing technologies. To enhance growth, new models and distributed data analytics strategies must be developed to fully utilize the value of the vast datasets generated, including the incorporation of embedded machine learning. The study focuses on conducting Pareto and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMECA) on ventilators in a specific hospital's ICU, specifically those manufactured by the same company and unit. The analysis aims to identify the most critical and failure-prone component. Subsequently, we propose an IoT-focused framework for a predictive maintenance system implemented at the component level. The architecture comprises a monitoring framework and a data analytics module to predict potential system failures in advance, enhancing overall reliability.
