REPLACEMENT OR PURCHASE OF HOSPITAL MEDICAL EQUIPMENT BY APPLYING THE AHP METHOD
Medical Equipment Replacement; AHP Method; Decision Making.
Technology has dominated the practices of medicine, so that virtually all medical specialties depend in
some way on Medical Equipment. Such dependence increases the need to implement effective technology
management methodologies to make processes and decisions more assertive. Given this, the Teaching
Hospital of Lagarto was taken as the object of study in order to evaluate its technology management and
major deficiencies. Since 2015, when it was incorporated by the EBSERH network and started to receive
incentives, mainly from the National Program for the Restructuring of Federal Teaching Hospitals (Rehuf),
there has been a significant growth and renovation of the hospital's technology park with voluminous
replacements of hospital medical equipment. equipment replacement process, process or policy has been
implemented or used. Making a replacement tool for the EBSERH Teaching Hospitals can provide more
effective management of HU equipment inventory, improving the current identification of those that need
to be replaced. This will allow you to make good decisions with minimized errors.
