Objective:To construct a medical equipment management system based on improved evidence theory,and to analyze its application effect in the equipment management of geriatric gastroenterology department in hospitals.Methods:With the help of improved evidence theory,the risk of medical equipment management in geriatric gastroenterology department was identified,dynamic weights and static weights were introduced,and a medical equipment management system based on improved evidence theory was constructed by combining the game idea with the portfolio empowerment approach.A total of 60 medical devices in clinical use in the department of geriatric gastroentero1ogy of Xi'an No.1 Hospital from 2021 to 2023 were selected,and the medical devices used from 2021 to 2022 were managed by conventional methods,and the medical devices used from 2022 to 2023 were managed by using the improved evidence theory(improved evidence theory management).The equipment management quality,equipment data integrity score and comprehensive assessment score of equipment management team were compared between the two management methods.Results:The average failure rate and scrap rate of equipment managed by the improved evidence theory method were(12.36±3.65)％and(2.65±0.54)％,respectively,which were lower than those of the conventional management method(t=9.897,15.877,P＜0.05),the average self-maintenance rate and upgrade rate of faults were(90.69±6.25)％and(91.25±5.25)％,respectively,which were higher than those of the conventional management method,the difference was statistically significant(t=13.191,14.828,P＜0.05).The average scores of equipment data management,diagnosis and treatment data analysis and clinical application data integrity using the improved evidence theory method were(92.36±2.36)points,(93.69±2.36)points and(94.39±3.26)points,respectively,which were higher than those of the conventional management method,the difference was statistically significant(t=13.044,13.893,15.036,P＜0.05).The average comprehensive assessment scores of technical support team,technical development team,technical practice team and auxiliary management team members adopting the improved evidence theory method were(91.36±3.26)points,(94.26±3.59)points,(95.36±4.36)points and(96.36±3.26)points,respectively,which were higher than those of the conventional management method,the difference was statistically significant(t=8.224,14.796,14.129,19.005,P＜0.05).Conclusion:The medical equipment management system based on the improved evidence theory can evaluate the risks in the application of equipment,improve the quality of equipment management,enhance the level of equipment management team,and provide decision-making assistance for the equipment management in geriatric gastroenterology department.
