Evaluación de indicadores en la gestión de mantenimiento de equipos médicos en la Fundación Hospital San Pedro

Abstract

The management of maintenance of medical equipment in health care institutions is important, since it depends on the medical equipment have a good operation and an adequate useful life, to provide a good quality health service. The purpose of this management is to ensure the safe operation of the equipment and is considered a support tool for the institution's engineering and medical personnel, in processes such as: planning, maintenance, inventory control, providing a safe environment and minimizing outages of equipment; which allows evaluating their performance from different areas, such as technical, clinical and economic. In the technical area, functional aspects of the equipment are evaluated, in the clinical aspects related to the performance of the equipment and in the economic with maintenance costs. In addition, maintenance management of medical equipment play a major role in Hospital Technology Management, since this tool can identify possible failures that an equipment is close to have, changes required by the maintenance or engineering area, helping in aspects such as: efficiency, efficiency and productivity have a continuous improvement. This paper presents an analysis of the current state of the medical equipment of the San Pedro Foundation Hospital, which includes the inventory, the datasheet, the preventive maintenance schedule, corrective maintenance documentation and management indicators. In addition, an optimization is performed with the K-NN algorithm, which determines which personnel is most suitable to carry out a specific corrective maintenance, based on the failure history of the institution, seeking to optimize equipment attention times and the possibility of performing training updates for personnel in specific areas of maintenance.
