| Publisher Description: Instead of blindly following manufacturers' maintenance recommendations, Clinical Engineering (CE), also known as Health Technology Management (HTM), professionals can use a method similar to Evidence-Based Medicine to keep medical equipment safe and reliable while using judiciously their limited resources. Evidence-Based Maintenance (EBM) analyzes the causes of equipment failures and uses these results to continually improve maintenance. EBM is particularly suited for those who want to take advantage of the Alternate Equipment Management (AEM) program allowed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) because it allows comparison of different maintenance strategies and provides concrete evidence to prove the safety and effectiveness of the AEM program adopted. |
