A proposed computer-assisted preventive maintenance system.
This paper describes a proposed Computerized Documentation System for effectively controlling all biomedical equipment preventive maintenance (PM) and repair functions to be effected by hospitals. There is a critical need for such a system to strengthen the management tools of hospital-based Biomedical/Clinical Engineering programs. The system's design objectives, implementation, and evaluation method are explained and the benefits attributable to such a computerized control system are summarized.
