The latest report of the Osservatorio Parco Installato (OPI) highlights the widespread state of obsolescence of electromedical equipment in Italy; in this context, Sacco hospital has implemented an internal strategy of management and evaluation of such equipment, in order to improve the planning of purchases, for greater profitability and efficiency of the service. The hospital has devised its own evaluation strategy for the installed park, developing an ad hoc model for multi- presidio public structures in which there is an outsourced management of the maintenance of electromedical equipment. The model, based on the synergy between a technical Replacement Priority Index (RPI) and a clinical RPI, aims to be quickly upgradable and able to grasp the urgency of replacing an equipment based on the state of the others of the same type. The strategy, given the heterogene.. Read More»
