Integration of Clinical Engineering into the Hospital Organization
Article Abstract:
The emergence of new and more complex biomedical equipment necessitates an expanded role for clinical engineers within the hospital. Three levels of clinical engineering involve corrective maintenance of equipment, preventive maintenance of equipment, and management and design of the equipment. Problems in communication result in hospital personnel, particularly nurses and doctors, being unaware of the clinical engineers' identity and potential. Instructions to staff and hands on lessons in equipment usage are necessary, but often received with hostility or lack of interest. Elimination of organizational distance in the hospital hierarchy is necessary before clinical engineers have total management support.
