The problems of cost, personnel qualifications, task assignment, and productivity involved in establishing a clinical engineering department are addressed in this paper. A basic department consisting of a Clinical Engineer, a Biomedical Equipment Technician, a Testing Technician and a Clerical Assistant can provide a full range of clinical engineering services to a hospital with 225 instruments. The annual cost of such a department, including materials, would be approximately $90,000. The average capital investment in a selection of 225 instruments would be on the order of $860,000. This paper discusses levels of skills within a clinical engineering department, and the services that a hospital could expect from a four-man department.
本文探讨了建立临床工程部门所涉及的成本、人员资质、任务分配和生产率等问题。一个由临床工程师、生物医学设备技术员、测试技术员和文书助理组成的基础部门能够为一家拥有225台仪器的医院提供全方位的临床工程服务。这样一个部门的年度成本，包括材料在内，约为90,000美元。精选的225台仪器的平均资本投资约为860,000美元。本文讨论了临床工程部门内的技能水平，以及医院可以期望从一个四人部门获得的服务。
