Abstract

One of the key issue of health technology management is to evaluate medical equipment lifecycle and to determine the necessity for the equipment replacement in time.

Aim of the study: The main objective of this pilot study is to create an approach for assessment of medical equipments and their prioritizing in the decision-making process concerning their purchase for a medical facility within their replacement on the basis of factors effecting the length of their lifecycle.

Methods: Methods of expert interviews and multicriteria decision-making were used for prioritization. On the basis of discussions with experts in respective fields of expertise (technical, clinical, user-operational), by using multicriteria decision methods (Fuller´s method), we determined the weights for individual criteria and areas necessary for calculation of the replacement priority index (PI).

Results: Methodological approach was tested in a outpatient helthcare facility specialized in radiodiagnostics. 3 medical equipments were tested while all of them was X-Ray equipments: RTG GE Discovery; RTG DRGEM; Opera 500C, U rameno Polistat – M.

Conclusion: This easy-to-apply methodology procedure may provide healthcare facilities with relevant information necessary for a decision-making process in the field of medical equipment replacement planning and thus to facilitate better investment planning.
