“…Based on some interviews, it is concluded that maintenance management in the public hospitals was not effective. The same conclusion was reported by Ishida et al (2014), who conducted a survey to examine these changes and the current situation of maintenance management in Japan public healthcare. AbdRania et al (2015) looked into the relationship between maintenance strategies implemented in healthcare facilities in Malaysia.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review maintenance strategies within the healthcare domain and to discuss practical needs as gaps between research and practice. Design/methodology/approach The paper systematically categorizes the published literature on clinical maintenance optimization and then synthesizes it methodically. Findings This study highlights the significant issues relevant to the application of dependability analysis in healthcare maintenance, including the quantitative and qualitative criteria taken into account, data collection techniques and applied approaches to find the solution. Within each category, the gaps and further research needs have been discussed with respect to both an academic and industrial perspective. Practical implications It is worth mentioning that medical devices are becoming more and more numerous, various and complex. Although, they are often affected by environmental disturbances, sharp technological development, stochastic and uncertain nature of operations and degradation and the integrity and interoperability of the supportability system, the associated practices related to asset management and maintenance in healthcare are still lacking. Therefore, the literature review of applied based research on maintenance subject is necessary to reveal the holistic issues and interrelationships of what has been published as categorized specific topics. Originality/value The paper presents a comprehensive review that will be useful to understand the maintenance problem and solution space within the healthcare context.

Background This study aims to explore the information chain management model of large instrument and equipment inter-working in the operating room (OR) led by information nurses. Methods Through the chain management process of large instruments and equipment in the OR, which was based on information nurses, the management model of inter-working and integrating information chain was established, the key links were controlled, and the whole life cycle management of instruments and equipment from expected procurement to scrapping treatment was realized. Using the cluster sampling method, 1562 surgical patients were selected. Among these patients, 749 patients were assigned to the control group before the running mode, and 813 patients were assigned to the observation group after the running mode. The related indexes for large instrument and equipment management in the department before and after the running mode were compared. Results In the observation group, the average time of equipment registration was (22.05 ± 2.36), the cost was reduced by 2220 yuan/year, and the satisfaction rate of the nursing staff was 97.62%. These were significantly better, when compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the awareness rate of the whole staff for equipment repair application was 95.12%, and the arrival time of maintenance personnel and the examination and approval time of equipment management were greatly shortened (P < 0.05). Conclusion The integrated management model of large instrument and equipment interworking in the OR based on chain flow realizes the whole life cycle management of instruments and equipment, which is essential to improve management efficiency.

Large medical equipment management is one of theimportant parts in the management of hospital, which has greatmeaning to the hospital development. However, the current use ofmedical equipment generally has the problem of high cost and lowefficiency, which brings great difficulty to hospital management.Based on the statistics of investment cost, operation cost and medicalequipment income of some large medical equipment in a hospital inSuzhou in recent three years, the economic benefits of large medicalequipment were analyzed in aspects of payback period and method ofrate of return on investment. The results demonstrated that theinvestment cost and operation cost of the large medical equipment inthe hospital management were both high, and the economic benefitswere significantly different between different equipment. Then basedon this, some Suggestions were put forward for equipmentmanagement, and the role of economic benefit analysis in hospitalmanagement was illustrated to provide some theoretical reference forfurther research.
