Desarrollo de una herramienta de escritorio para la gestión operativa de los equipos biomédicos críticos en las sedes del Hospital Universitario Mayor de Méderi

For health care providers, it is essential to develop programmed activities such as preventive maintenance and activities such as preventive maintenance and calibrations are indispensable for health calibrations. The main purpose of these activities is to avoid adversities at the time of using the technology, but they are also important to carry them out in order to the use of technology, but it is also important to carry them out so that the useful life of the equipment does not that the useful life of the equipment does not decrease. Within these programmed activities, the correct the correct functioning of the biomedical equipment is evaluated and also predictive changes of some components of the predictive changes of some components of the equipment, which may fail during the use of the equipment components that may fail during the use of the technology in the near future. Likewise, it is of to encourage the correct use of the technologies by the clinical staff in order to avoid technology failures during its use. to avoid failures of the technology during its use and thus avoid accidents, for the patient or for the personnel who are for the patient or for the personnel handling the device. At the Hospital Universitario Mayor de Méderi and the Hospital Universitario Barrios Hospital Universitario Barrios Unidos, biomedical technology is considered a fundamental axis for health care. health care, which is why performing scheduled activities in a timely manner is of great importance for the institution. is of great importance for the institution. For this reason, it is proposed to design a desktop tool to to perform the management of scheduled activities of the equipment commonly used within the institution commonly used within the institution, taking into account that this was the need that the department of biomedical engineering that the biomedical engineering department needed to solve. This tool was made by means of Excel software, more specifically, the Visual Basic tool, which Visual Basic tool, which allowed the creation of a user interface directed to the personnel in charge of the personnel in charge of the maintenance of the different technologies of the institution and the health institution and to the health personnel who use these technologies. The interface allows to information of the programmed activities, this information is taken from the service manuals for the This information comes from the service manuals for each biomedical equipment. The use of the interface can generate a positive impact for the maintenance personnel when performing the programmed activities. maintenance personnel when performing the scheduled activities of the medical equipment and for the healthcare and for the health personnel for a correct use of the technology.
