| dc.description.abstract | Introduction- Medical equipment is defined as any devise that is used in the rendering of patient care [1]. According to the world health organization, Medical equipment is used for the specific purposes of diagnosis and treatment of disease or rehabilitation following disease or injury. Problem Statement – The medical equipment maintenance system as a whole (both the IPM and corrective maintenance) in All Africa Leprosy, Tuberculosis and Rehabilitation Training Centre (ALERT) is not functioning well, the management and the maintenance system is not well organized and is not done in a regular interval, in addition the department of biomedical engineering is newly opened. Objective - The general objective of the study is to improve the preventive maintenance system in ALERT hospital. The specific objectives for the study were to increase the CR from 79% to 90%,LR from 25% to 60%and IPM from 40% to 60%by May 2018. Project Design/Methods: Pre-post interventional study was conducted at ALERT hospital located in the capital city of Addis Ababa with a catchment area of approximately five million populations with the total budget of the project 16000 at ALERT hospital from February to June 2018. Data Collection Procedure and Analysis - A pretested questioner which was developed by reviewing different literatures, which also includes international standards in equipment maintenance was used. SPSS version 20.0 was used for data entry, coding, cleaning and analysis. Chi square test of association was used to detect the association between pre and post intervention studies. The finding was presented using tables, graphs and texts. Result– The result of one month implementation of selected strategies showed that a significant improvement of preventive maintenance in the hospital.This was objectively measured by an increment in the completion rate from 79% to 90.5%, location rate from 25% to 61% and inspection and preventive maintenance yield from 40% to 72%. Conclusion and Recommendation - The result of this capstone project showed that, those selected strategies were effective on improving preventive maintenance system. Although the finding proves the effectiveness of selected strategies, user training is still a gap for the hospital. So, it will be better if these selected strategies will be implemented in a larger scale by including all clinical service providing departments. | en_US |
