Case Study: Effectiveness and Functioning of Biomedical Engineering Services and Impact on Quality Care at Fortis Escorts Hospital

This study was undertaken to analyze the effectiveness and functioning of engineering services and its impact on overall quality care. For this purpose, various parameters like maintenance strategy, repair and replacement policy used, frequency and reasons for equipment failure, maintenance cost, risk incurred due to failure, availability of alternative equipment, training, and skill development were assessed. Constructive results were obtained from the study, validating that engineering services do have an influential role in the health sector; without them, health quality will decline. Therefore, the reputation of a hospital depends greatly on the technology being used in the hospital.
