Diseño de un plan de mantenimiento preventivo y correctivo para mejorar la vida útil y funcionalidad de los equipos biomédicos del Centro de Salud – Tipo C.

Abstract

In any private or public healthcare organization, biomedical equipment plays a vital role in diagnosing patients' illnesses. These are valuable assets that help determine what diseases patients may be suffering from. They are highly functional and serve various purposes, including verifying test results. The organization chosen for this case study is the Health Directorate 09D04 Febres Cordero, which oversees 32 healthcare centers categorized as types B and C. Each center specializes in specific medical services according to the portfolio approved by the Ministry of Public Health. This document focuses on analyzing the critical challenges faced by the Type C healthcare center in meeting its preventive and corrective maintenance plan for biomedical equipment. Additionally, we will explore the drawbacks of an institution not having trained personnel in the maintenance field and emphasize the importance of implementing a preventive and corrective maintenance plan for biomedical equipment. Such a plan ensures the preservation of these devices, enhances medical results, and reduces expenses.
