ARDILA, M.A; GOMEZ, A  e  CAMACHO-COGOLLO, J.E. METHOD OF STRATEGIC INCORPORATION OF BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGY FOR HEALTH INSTITUTIONS. Rev. ing. biomed. [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.20, pp.35-42. ISSN 1909-9762.

The continued high and unnecessary costs of technology, poor patient care, decisions made by people with little experience and waste of public resources devoted to health. All generate a need to develop a rational and systematic process for the incorporation of medical equipment. The aim of this work was to create such a method through collection of information, a literature review and implementation of a survey to diagnose the status of the processes of incorporation into different healthcare institutions and learn the critical stages and steps to be performed in each. The method was implemented in a real case with the acquisition of two technologies, a linear accelerator and a steam sterilizer. The method was validated with two experts responsible for the acquisition of this equipment to determine its usability and importance in the process of incorporation of biomedical technology. Validation showed quantitative and positive results for both technologies because the experts were satisfied with each of the aspects evaluated and the final report provided by the method.
