Abstract:
Hospitals are currently facing cost-cutting pressures. To meet the challenge, some hospitals have downsized by reducing costs and by promoting new lines of business. In this environment, clinical engineers may need a proactive strategy to maintain the integrity of their service, demonstrate its value, and develop new business opportunities including shared-service maintenance, technology assessment, microcomputer applications, and training.
