摘要:

This paper reviews the sociology of professions, examines the background and historical development of professions, and then reviews the present status of the profession of clinical engineering. The historical components of the professionalization process are investigated along with the societal perceptions, the role of education, and the functions of professional societies. The progress of an occupation toward professionalization involves: the appearance of training schools; establishment of university educational programs; licensure or certification; a formal code of ethics; and establishment of one or more national professional associations. A rationale is presented here for the formation of a clearly identified professional society for clinical engineers based on: (1) The need to identify the territory of the clinical engineer by defining the body of knowledge on which clinical engineering is based; (2) The need to structure the educational system of clinical engineering; (3) The need to represent the clinical engineer in the healthcare system; and (4) The need to gain status as a profession

摘要:

The growing demand for more and better healthcare service greatly expands the role of medical equipment in providing health services more effectively. The purpose of introducing clinical engineering programs in hospitals was to improve the effectiveness of healthcare institutions' utilization and management of medical technology. Over the last decade, the role of clinical engineering has grown in importance as a component of hospitals and the healthcare delivery system. Hospital administrators currently put a strong emphasis on cost effectiveness of clinical engineering services, to reduce the cost of acquisition and maintenance of equipment. Unfortunately, the lack of a commonly accepted definition of cost effectiveness has resulted in a certain amount of confusion over how the performance of clinical engineering services can or should be measured. The results presented in this paper should assist hospital administrators and clinical engineering program managers to establish a common understanding of what “cost effectiveness” means and how it can be achieved
