Abstract

The main objective of this research paper is to ascertain the problems and causes related to the failure of health care equipment and devices in Hyderabad public sector hospitals and to recommend policies and strategies to develop a procedure or mechanism for better management of health care equipment to improve health care delivery and to minimize wastage of scarce public resources. A structured questionnaire survey was used to collect data from a sample of twelve public sector hospitals situated in different regions of Hyderabad. This study also includes may discussions with medical professionals, health care administrators and paramedical staff etc. This paper concludes that non-existence of national healthcare technology management policy on selection, assessment, acquisition, usage, maintenance, disposal and replacement of medical equipment and devices in Hyderabad is the main factor responsible for poor management of healthcare equipment and device, Formulation and implementation of coherent health care equipment and devices management policy at national and regional level would improve health care delivery and resolve many of the problems related to the management of health care equipment and devices in public sector hospitals in Hyderabad.

Abstract

Railway in India is a very complicated and large scale network system. In 2002 the Ministry of Railway of India made a decision to develop a R&D project of Intelligent Decision Support System for the Railway Empty Wagons Distribution plan (REWD-IDSS). This paper, combining the practical R&D project of REWDIDSS, adopts technological principles and methods of IDSS to develop analysis and research of detail on overall design, implementation method, and systematic prototype development, etc. It develops a goal system of tertiary management mode in which are included the Ministry of Railways, Railway Administration and Railway branch Administration, puts forward the principles proposed which obey decision-making process and performance law in real vacant adjusts plan management coordinate with supported decision-making in overall process of vacant adjusts etc, and selects a structure with parts of problem processing subsystem, database subsystem, model subsystem, knowledge subsystem, and human-computer interaction subsystem, etc.

Keywords
