Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application effect of Total Life Cycle Management(TLCM)in managing maintenance cost of ultrasound imaging equipment.Methods:Thirty ultrasound imaging equipment of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital from June 2021 to July 2023 were selected.From June 2021 to June 2022,a conventional maintenance mode was adopted to manage these equipment,and TLCM was implemented to manage them from July 2022 to July 2023.The qualified rate and failure frequency of the ultrasound imaging equipment,the satisfaction scores of medical staffs in using equipment,and the costs of operation and maintenance were compared between different management modes.Results:Under TLCM mode,the qualified rate was 93.33%,which was significantly higher than 73.33% under conventional maintenance mode,and the difference was significant(x2=4.320,P＜0.05). Under TLCM mode,the boot-up time of ultrasound imaging equipment was shorter than that under the conventional maintenance mode,and the difference was significant (t=7.146,P＜0.05). Under TLCM mode,the failure rate of long-term use of equipment was lower than that under conventional maintenance,and the difference was significant (x2=4.443,P＜0.05). The satisfaction scores of medical staffs for the performance,efficiency,and cleanliness of equipment under TLCM mode were higher than those under conventional maintenance mode,and the differences of them between two modes were significant (t=3.955,5.872,6.368,8.214,P＜0.05). Under TLCM mode,both maintenance costs and operational expenses were lower than those under conventional maintenance,and the differences of them between two modes were significant (t=41.353,16.743,P＜0.05). Conclusion:TLCM can effectively enhance operationally qualified rate of equipment,and reduce maintenance costs and failure rate of equipment in long-term use,and improves the satisfaction of medical staff.
