A model for a central equipment pool managed by a clinical engineering department has been presented. The advantages to patient care and to the clinical engineering department are many. The distribution of portable technology that has been traditionally managed by the materials management function is a logical match to the expanding role of clinical engineering departments in technology management. Accurate asset management tools have allowed us to provide reliable measures of infusion pump utilization, permitting us to predict future needs as programs expand. Thus we are more actively involved in strategic technology planning. The central equipment pool is an excellent opportunity for the clinical engineering department to increase its technology management activities.
已提出一种由临床工程部门管理的中央设备库模式。对患者护理和临床工程部门而言，其优势众多。传统上由材料管理职能部门管理的便携式技术的分配，与临床工程部门在技术管理方面不断扩大的作用在逻辑上相匹配。精确的资产管理工具使我们能够提供输液泵使用情况的可靠数据，从而在项目扩展时预测未来需求。因此，我们更积极地参与战略技术规划。中央设备库为临床工程部门增加其技术管理活动提供了绝佳机会。
