Computer system for equipment management
1Medical Equipment Management Department, King's Mill Hospital, Sutton-in-Ashfield, UK.
Abstract:
A computer system has been developed to meet the requirements of equipment management. The system was originally developed to run on personal computers, but has been upgraded to provide true multiuser facilities and more advanced program capabilities. This has been achieved using improved hardware and a relational database. The manner in which the software operates is described, with some examples examined in more detail. The system provides a wide range of information, including inventory data, repair costs and time as well as service records and worksheets. In addition it meets the other basic requirements of the department, including wordprocessing, budgetary control and stock control. The system also provides an immediate and rapid overview of the repair state of all equipment whilst reducing administration time for many aspects of the service. Emphasis has been placed on the integrity of the data and ease of entry of additional data.
