Study on Medical Equipment Management Program (MEMP) and its Preventive Maintenance | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

The approach of quality management of medical equipment based on key performance indicators (KPIs) could be employed to quantify all elements of MEMS. It was also agreed that the plan for managing medical equipment in public hospitals in an integrated and comprehensive way should be authorized, as long as it is based on a conceptual framework with four domains of input, process, output, and result. . The degree of correlation between the four domains of the MEMS framework ranged from a moderate to a high level. The underperformance of one domain has a ripple effect on the performance of other domains as well. The linear regression model confirmed that there was a statistically significant relationship between overall KPI scores and the usage coefficients of the medical equipment under investigation.. The percentage completion of planned preventive maintenance (PPM) was found to be the most statistically significant predictor of UC among the four variables studied (Preventive maintenance, Accuracy and Quality Control, Corrective Maintenance, and Percentage completion of planned preventive maintenance).
