Justifying and tracking BMET training.
We have outlined the importance of BMET training and how it is a crucial investment for not only the health care facility but also clinical engineering and individual BMETs. Training methods and funding mechanisms are also important aspects of the continuing education process. Being aware of the alternatives helps to achieve the goals of the clinical engineering program. We have also demonstrated management techniques of acquiring training, evaluating courses, and keeping statistics. Courstat manages statistics of training intensity among BMETs. This kind of tool provides managers with an overall picture of departmental expertise.
