Abstract:
Objective To explore the current situation and problems of clinical use management of medical devices in Chinese hospitals,providing a basis for optimizing the management system.Methods A multi-stage stratified random sampling method was used to select hospitals of different levels across the country for investigation,analyzing their resource allocation,management mechanisms,and implementation effects.Results There are significant differences in the management of medical devices among hospitals of different levels and regions.Tertiary hospitals have a clear advantage over secondary hospitals in terms of resource investment and the completeness of management structures.There are significant differences in aspects such as medical device investment among regions,human resource allocation,and the implementation of management responsibilities(P＜0.05).In the clinical use management of medical devices,there generally exist several issues.For example,the proportion of self-maintenance is relatively low;the allocation of medical engineering management personnel is unbalanced;the implementation rate of clinical use evaluation responsibilities is relatively low;and the level of informatized management needs to be enhanced.Conclusion It is recommended to establish a hierarchical collaborative mechanism in order to reduce the disparity in management standards across regions and hospital levels.Diversified models of technical support should be developed to improve hospitals'independent capabilities in medical device maintenance.The talent development system in medical engineering should be strengthened,and the professional competence of management teams should be enhanced accordingly.Clinical utilization evaluation of medical devices should be improved to achieve full-process,closed-loop management.Additionally,the construction of intelligent platforms should be accelerated to overcome data silos and address challenges in the closed-loop management of healthcare services.Through the implementation of the aforementioned strategies,the overall management efficiency of clinical medical device usage can be significantly enhanced.
