    Implementing an in-house maintenance program for radiological equipment, balancing in-house staff and manufacturer support, significantly reduced radiology department expenditures. This strategy achieved an average 40% decrease in annual maintenance costs.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Equipment Management
    • Healthcare Operations

    Background:

    • Radiological equipment maintenance costs are escalating due to increasing complexity and the need for stringent safety assurance.
    • Maintenance expenditures represent a significant operational expense for radiology departments.
    • Existing maintenance models may not be cost-effective or efficient.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the rising costs of radiological equipment maintenance.
    • To implement and evaluate a comprehensive in-house maintenance program.
    • To optimize the balance between in-house technical capabilities and external service support.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed and implemented a hybrid maintenance program integrating in-house technical personnel and manufacturer services.

  • Incorporated quality assurance activities as a core component of the program.
  • Monitored and analyzed annual maintenance expenditures before and after program implementation.

    • Main Results:

    • The in-house maintenance program demonstrated a significant reduction in annual maintenance costs.
    • An average reduction of 40% in annual maintenance expenditure was observed.
    • The program successfully balanced internal resources with external expertise.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive in-house maintenance program can effectively control and reduce radiological equipment maintenance costs.
    • Integrating in-house capabilities with manufacturer support offers a viable strategy for managing operational expenses in radiology departments.
    • Quality assurance is crucial for the success of such maintenance programs.
