Engineering Hazards

This presentation details the Engineering hazards possible in Hospital and it management scenarios.

Hospital Equipment Maintenance :: Hospiad

Repair and maintenance of existing facilities to ensure  optimum operational reliability, risk reduction and their safety for the patient, staff and public is the objective of maintenance. The quality of engineering services in terms of their outcome and ability to satisfy the expectations of clientele, both internal (doctors / nurses / technicians / management) and external (the patients / their relatives as well as the regulatory authorities) depends on effective maintenance.

Expectations of the Patients

1. There is a regular and uninterrupted power / water supply, the communication system and a comfortable environment (lighting, ventilation, humidity, noise / odor level).
2. Failure of these services is not the cause of any untoward effect, on their treatment / chances of recovery.
3. The service should be able to provide to them an atmosphere like their home atmosphere.

Expectations of the Doctors / Nurses / Technicians

2. That the services are adequate enough to support the timely performance of the diagnostic / therapeutic procedures
3. The communication system is efficient and fully reliable
4. The services do not, in any way, adversely affect the treatment of their patients.

Expectations of the Management

1. No complaints from the patients, staff or the regulatory authorities.
2. Safety of patients, public and staff from all possible hazards related to the facility management.
3. Minimum possible cost of maintaining / operating the facilities / equipment under the charge of the department.
