Abstract

In Italy, hospitals of different dimensions have been equipped, in the last years, with a clinical engineering structure that is leaded by a bioengineer whose main role is management of bioinstrumentation in terms of planning for purchases and maintenance. Nevertheless, if we think that hospital structures, particularly those with considerable dimensions, are subject to a nearly continuous upkeep process, we can locate a new crucial role for bioengineers: being the main referents of upkeep process together with hospital’s CEO. The process of upkeep and development of a hospital is always a complex multi-project that involves many steps starting from a deep planning effort. In this process, we maintain, the bioengineer should be involved starting from scratch.
