“…Therefore, the results seem to be reasonable because the lack of commitment to the duties and responsibilities results in failure to perform tasks properly, and ultimately, lack of progress and success. According to the results of studies conducted by some researchers, the commitment to performing the duties correctly is one of the effective factors influencing the implementation of strategies (Feigal et al , 2003; Khalaf, 2004; Montajabi and Akhondi, 2006), which is in line with the results of the present study.…”

Purpose This study aims to identify and prioritize barriers to the implementation of medical equipment (ME) marketing strategies using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Design/methodology/approach This was an applied, cross-sectional and descriptive-analytic study conducted in 2017 in Iran. The study population included 30 medical equipment experts working in the Ministry of Health and Medical Education. A researcher made pair-wise comparison questionnaire was used for collecting the required data. The validity and reliability of this questionnaire were confirmed through getting five related experts’ opinions and inconsistency ratio (IR = 0.04). The AHP technique and Expert Choice 10.0 software were used to prioritize the barriers to the implementation of ME marketing strategies. Findings The results showed that among four categories of barriers to the implementation of ME marketing strategies, “managerial and strategic barriers” (FW = 0.339) and “structural barriers” (FW = 0.139) were the most important and the least important barriers, respectively. Originality/value This study, for the first time, has identified and prioritized barriers to the implementation of medical equipment marketing strategies using the AHP.

“…The questionnaire results reported a high rate of equipment unavailability due to unreliable schedule systems for equipment and shortage of manpower. Based on a systemic approach to MPM in healthcare domain, with appropriate objective performance indicators, Khalaf (2007) found that SM procedures such as calibration, safety checks and performance assurance testing are not implemented effectively, and CM is carried out in a systematic way.…”

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.

“…This have been necessitated by the few numbers of the machines available to serve a large queue of kidney failure patients. Khalaf, [9] observed that the greatest problem for many developing countries notwithstanding the number of equipment supplied to the hospitals, 50% up to 75% of these equipment are defective. Frequent equipment failure and medical device malfunction are a sign that the maintenance and servicing program have failed.…”

Hemodialysis machines are critical medical equipment in healthcare facilities for renal replacement therapy in form of dialysis treatment on solving chronic kidney diseases in Sub Sahara Africa. It is a vital machine which acts as human kidney by incorporating electromechanical controlled extracorporeal blood paths that leverage pumps and semi permeable dialyzer membranes to filter the patient's blood. The biggest challenge to the biomedical engineers in most African hospitals is to maintain the manufacturer's safety and performance specification of the haemodialysis equipment. There is a need for effective maintenance strategy for haemodialysis medical equipment in order to maintain the manufacturer's set specification to meet clinical expectations and hence improve its reliability. The overall goal of the research paper is therefore to analyze the influence of different maintenance strategies and subsequently improve on the reliability of hemodialysis equipment in healthcare institutions in Kenya. The research will prioritize hemodialysis machine as critical medical equipment and use comprehensive secondary data to review and analyze the strategic maintenance applied in health institutions to optimize the best and cost effective strategic maintenance for the hemodialysis medical equipment. The ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms may be less expert reliant and avoid uncertainty and ambiguity to determine the best strategic maintenance management to manage hemodialysis medical equipment in the hospitals. The results will provide an opportunity to technical engineers to develop a predictive and intelligent management system in the hospitals to minimize or remove the Mean Downtime (MDT) and Mean time to repair (MTTR) for a failed hemodialysis machines and improve the reliability of the hemodialysis machine.
