    Intermountain Health Care developed Clinical Technology Management (CTM) in 1996 for systematic clinical equipment asset management. CTM covers the entire equipment lifecycle, from planning to disposition, optimizing healthcare technology resources.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Health Informatics

    Background:

    • Healthcare organizations face challenges in managing clinical equipment assets effectively.
    • A systematic approach is needed to address the entire equipment lifecycle.
    • Intermountain Health Care (IHC) recognized the need for a comprehensive strategy in 1996.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development and implementation of Clinical Technology Management (CTM) at IHC.
    • To outline the core concepts and methodologies underpinning CTM.
    • To detail the evolution and refinements of CTM over a six-year period.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a strategic framework for clinical equipment asset management.
    • Focus on the six key elements of the equipment lifecycle: planning, assessment, acquisition, utilization, maintenance, and disposition.

  • Enterprise-wide deployment and continuous improvement of the CTM program.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful deployment of a comprehensive Clinical Technology Management program.
    • Established a systematic, enterprise-wide strategy for managing clinical equipment assets.
    • Demonstrated the long-term refinement and adaptation of CTM principles over six years.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical Technology Management provides a robust framework for optimizing clinical equipment assets.
    • A systematic, lifecycle-based approach enhances efficiency and effectiveness in healthcare technology management.
    • The IHC CTM model offers valuable insights for other healthcare organizations seeking to improve asset management.
