2. Abstract—Medical equipment management is an important
issue for safety and cost in modern hospital operation. In
addition, the use of an efficient information system effectively
promotes the managing performance. In this study, we
designed a framework of medical equipment management
system used for in-house clinical engineering department.

3. introduction
TODAY's medical environment is highly dependent on
various types of medical equipment to complete the
diagnosis and treatment for patients with care. These medical
devices must be kept in good condition to prevent from
injuries occurred in patients as well as in users. Moreover, to
face the tough competition environment and complex health

4. care system, the hospital should take the appropriate cost
controls in response to that situation.
For these goals, CED is responsible for purchase
assessment, safety installation, warranty assurance,
correcting repair, contrast monitoring, preventive
maintenance, and identifying discard to provide safe,
effective, and economical services and equipment that are
necessary for patient care research and community service.

5. II. METHOD
This was divided into three parts. First, the intranet in hospital
connects the overall operating computers of hospital and the
hospital information system (HIS).
Second, the MEMS
was set up in the intranet of CED and connected to the

6. intranet of the hospital through a router.
Third, the Web server of CED
connects to the internet through a firewall and provides a
service for supporting outside branch member to access the
database of CED,

8. These systems were designed
according to the operational activity of CED. On the basis of
different operating attribution, they can be classified into four groups.
The first group is the basic information, which primarily
provides fixed information to other sub-systems such as
inventory information, staff data, equipment maintenance
vendors, user department and their cost center code.

9. The second group contains the procurement, acceptance,
and discard practices. These practices focus on document
assessment. Therefore, the timing record is crucial to the
daily work activities of engineer in CED. Biomedical
managers must be able to correctly assign staffs for the right
job and to monitor the rate of progress.

10. The third group is mainly aimed at medical equipment
maintenance and the repair work of CED,
The final group includes warranty, maintenance, and
contract management systems. The attribution of the group
belongs to managing activities which have the property of
period plan in advance.

12. III. RESULT
Fig. 4 shows the
twelve types of error code and the
statistic graph for the
failure items of medical equipment
repair cases. The statistic
data was explored from the MEMS in
NTUH around 6000 pieces.

monitors that are.
commonly used in nursing department.

14. IV. DISCUSSION
the data format and operating interface
are very important. They will influence the information
whether is accurate and comprehensive. Data quality
initiatives can help to insure the accuracy of
clinical/biomedical engineering data. Some important key
fields in designing database may be considered

15. V. CONCLUSION
the patient safety, operation performance in cost/efficient
analysis, and risk evaluation and control are the important
issues for using medical equipment in hospital [7][8].
A framework of medical equipment management system
has been proposed in the paper for assisting in-house CE
department early to confront the potential risk.
