With the rapid development of China's medical industry, a variety of medical equipment gradually into the treatment of patients, the treatment of patients' diseases play a huge role. However, due to the special industry of hospitals, the management level of its medical equipment still has a lot of problems, in order to be able to better improve the current level of management of medical equipment in China's hospitals, this paper briefly analyzes the current problems in the management of China's medical equipment and puts forward some of the author's recommendations.
1 The main problems in the current management of medical equipment in China's hospitals
For China's current management of medical equipment, which exists in the following problems:
1.1 The update of medical equipment lagging behind or repeated purchases
In the current management of medical equipment, the majority of hospitals have two main concepts, one of which is the re-purchase of equipment, which can improve the quality of medical equipment. One is to re-purchase the equipment, so as to improve their own medical equipment level, the other view is to carry out technical maintenance of the original medical equipment, this situation mainly occurs in some townships and other grass-roots hospitals, these medical institutions do not have sufficient financial support. However, for the maintenance of medical equipment, due to the problems of the equipment itself, and most of the medical equipment is relatively backward, resulting in patients can not receive the best medical services, affecting the patient's treatment effect. While the medical equipment update is mainly in some large hospitals, these hospitals in the funds on the basis of sufficient in order to improve their own medical equipment level, often on the medical equipment update, resulting in a large number of medical equipment pile up, wasting a lot of hospital development funds.
1.2 Inadequate management system
In the current management of medical equipment, most of the hospitals do not have a sound management system, resulting in management problems continue to occur, the normal operation of the hospital's medical equipment has a serious impact. The unsound management system leads to the frequent occurrence of medical equipment accidents, which jeopardizes the life safety of patients. In addition, after the damage of medical equipment, the relevant persons in charge of it shirk their responsibilities to each other, which leads to the delay in solving the problem and affects the normal operation of the hospital. Like a hospital's oxygen station in a certain year appeared a sudden explosion, after inquiring is due to one of the oxygen generator pressure reducing valve problems, after the explosion occurred in a timely manner to contact the relevant company for repair. Through this case can be illustrated, the imperfection of the management system leads to the relevant responsible personnel for their own work irresponsible, resulting in serious accidents in the hospital, which caused both huge economic losses, while the life and health of the staff caused serious harm.
1.3 The quality of medical equipment
In a hospital, the emergency room needs to purchase a defibrillator, through a variety of investigations and choices, and ultimately decided to enter the final selection of two companies, one of the company's medical equipment has a very good reputation, and the hospital has purchased a large number of the company's products, the operation of the process did not have a problem. However, the price of the company's products exceeded the hospital's budget, while the price of the second company's products was lower than the budget, after the final review and purchase of the second company's products. The above case shows that the quality of the equipment and the proficiency in its use are very important when making a choice of equipment, especially for medical equipment such as defibrillators, which provide first aid to patients. When purchasing medical equipment that has not been practiced and that has a great impact on the lives of patients, problems in its operation can be very harmful to the hospital and the patients. For the hospital's budget, it is only the purchase of equipment when a reference data, specific equipment purchase should be considered the most important thing is the quality of equipment.
2 Medical Equipment Management Recommendations
2.1 Establishment of a Sound Management System for Medical Equipment Purchase
The quality of medical equipment and the life and health of the patient has a direct link, therefore, in the procurement of medical equipment needs to strengthen the control and management of the procurement process. Through the establishment of a sound procurement system, the relevant departments in the procurement of equipment
when there is a clear basis for procurement, through the standardization of procurement management to prevent product quality problems in the procurement process. In addition, in the procurement process, the need to use the hospital's equipment department and medical management clerks will be and engineering and technical personnel and other personnel involved in all the equipment to put forward their own views, and then by the purchasing department of the equipment company to explain, and in the contract for a clear point, to prevent the use of equipment in the process of the latter part of the equipment problems can not be solved.
2.2 Establishment of an information platform
For the medical equipment problems mentioned above, although individual hospitals exist, but these problems can be reflected to a certain extent in the current management of China's medical equipment in some of the problems and some of the management of the loopholes, these problems on the hospital's level of service has a very big impact, so hospitals can be avoided through the establishment of an information platform to avoid these problems, in the information platform will be in the information platform to avoid the problems. These problems, in the information platform will be the medical equipment information, plus the purchase time and use of time and so on for a comprehensive and detailed record, and in the daily use of medical equipment for real-time records. Through the establishment of this information platform, it is possible to carry out all-round information management of medical equipment, in addition, it is also possible to realize the whole monitoring and management of medical equipment. This information platform management mode can also provide accurate data for the maintenance of medical equipment, etc., to prevent equipment accidents.
2.3 Strengthen the maintenance
With the operation of the medical equipment, it is bound to produce some wear and tear, the use of equipment to a certain extent, for this reason, the hospital needs to regularly carry out a comprehensive maintenance and inspection of the medical equipment, after the emergence of problems in a timely manner to solve them.
