We report results of a survey of medical equipment purchasing, utilization, and maintenance practices in 12 Chinese tertiary-care hospitals. A dramatic increase in expenditures on medical equipment was found to have occurred after 1979, mainly resulting from purchases of imported equipment. Based on survey results and on personal observations, recommendations are given for reducing equipment-related costs through the development of clinical engineering services.
我们报告了对中国12家三级甲等医院医疗设备采购、使用和维护情况的调查结果。结果发现，1979年之后医疗设备支出急剧增加，主要原因是进口设备的购置。基于调查结果和个人观察，我们给出了通过发展临床工程服务来降低设备相关成本的建议。
