ANDRADE, M. E; BARRENECHE, J.G  and  TRUJILLO, M. MAINTENANCE COST CONTROL MODEL OF CLINICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS IN COLOMBIA HEALTHCARE CENTERS. Rev. ing. biomed. [online]. 2015, vol.9, n.18, pp.27-32. ISSN 1909-9762.

This article presents a practical guidance model for clinics and hospitals of the Colombian national territory that provides technical support in the process of construction and consolidation of a schematic that shows the real cost inside their clinical engineering departments. For that purpose, an exhaustive technological vigilance has been done, relating to subject matter that compete with the managing cost in hospitable entities of diverse countries in the international arena. In addition, the study accumulates literary demonstrated in benchmarking developed by clinical - hospitable establishments of nations with out-standing standards of quality worldwide. Finally, all the information gathered is brought to the Colombian context to be applicable to the national healthcare system, and to be able to meet regulations and requirements that the Colombian Social Security System requires to clinical engineering departments.

Keywords : Model; Cost; Department; Technological vigilance; Clinical engineering.
