"Beyond 'broke'": three steps to improve how your hospital buys, uses, and repairs equipment.
By approaching problems in the hospital as an observational researcher, biomeds can begin to think about the problems in a different way, which may point toward opportunities to solve these problems. Of all of the people in the hospital, biomeds are in the best position to address these issues because they see how the products are used and what goes wrong. These three steps are just a starting point for moving beyond product repair and maintenance so biomeds can improve product use in their hospitals.
