Abstract:
Objective:To control the maintenance cost of medical equipment and improve the efficiency and service level for maintenance, and to research the management about classification maintenance for medical equipment based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP).Methods: 69 clinical department and 14 engineers were involved in the questionnaire survey and the evaluated factors were obtained from their questionnaires. The (AHP) was used to determine what is the factor weight of maintenance for the medical equipment, and then calculate the maintenance scores of the equipment. Finally, the weight scores were applied to ABC classification method and the equipments will be divided into three types (A\B\C) as this method, and they will be managed by different mode.Results: Depended on the sixth order analysis data from 6 factors of evaluation (price, frequency, stability, running time, standby factor and difficulty of maintenance) that were compared between any two factors by using AHP, through comprehensive scores ratio to got A\B\C classification and work out relative implement countermeasure of maintenance. The new classification management mode has achieved planning and preventive maintenance for key equipment, regular maintenance for major equipment, and maintenance after event for general equipment. After the method was applied, the fault rate of second half of 2016 year was decrease 30% compared with same time of 2015 year. The total cost of maintenance of 2016 year decreased 10% compared with that of 2015 year. And the satisfaction of clinical department for department of equipment was enhanced.Conclusion: The AHP is applied to classified manage medical equipment and maintain them as weight of factor. This method has resolved many problems on maintenance of equipment, such as confused primary and secondary, and formalism and so on. According to the factor weight of maintenance to manage medical equipment at classification mode, hospital can catch key point of maintenance of equipment, and the maintenance cost can be efficiently controlled, and the work efficiency and clinical service level of equipment department can be improved and enhanced.
