Recent restructuring of the quality assurance standards of the JCAHO and the benefits to be gained from assurance indicators are requiring clinical engineering support groups to manage their equipment inventories with greater precision. Technological enhancements in the database industry have provided these groups with a mechanism with which they can manage. Assessments of equipment reliability, departmental management, and quality assurance give supervisory staff an important tool for feedback.
