Introduction to Clinical Engineering

Autor Samantha Jacques, Barbara Christe
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 aug 2020
Introduction to Clinical Engineering focuses on the application of engineering practice within the healthcare delivery system, often defined as clinical engineering. Readers will explore the fundamental concepts integral to the support of healthcare technology to advance medical care. The primary mission of clinical engineers is the utilization of medical devices, software, and systems to deliver safe and effective patient care throughout technology’s lifecycle. This unique and interdisciplinary workforce is part of the healthcare team and serves as the intersection between engineering and medicine.
This book is aimed at practitioners, managers, students, and educators to serve as a resource that offers a broad perspective of the applications of engineering principles, regulatory compliance, lifecycle planning, systems thinking, risk analysis, and resource management in healthcare. This book is an invaluable tool for healthcare technology management (HTM) professionals and can serve as a guide for students to explore the profession in depth.

Recenzii

"What you will find as you read through this book, is that one of the truly great things about being a clinical engineer is that it is impossible to become bored. A clinical engineer serves to a large extent as a bridge between technology and medicine. In this capacity, there are myriad opportunities in the ever-changing world of health care. Whether the problem to solve is urgent or strategic, or covers direct patient care, equipment integration, human factors, cybersecurity, or financial improvement, there is always a long list to improve the performance of the health system or related organization…What you can expect in this profession today is still only limited by your imagination." --From the Foreword by Lawrence (Larry) W. Hertzler, CCE, AAMI Fellow
"Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a refresher, transitioning into management, or trying to enter the HTM field. Breaking into the health technology industry can be difficult, but Introduction to Clinical Engineering makes the process less daunting and more approachable." --Lynch, N. Reading Room. Biomed Instrum Technol (2020) 54 (6): 450.
"The book accomplishes its purpose of providing readers with a clear introduction to the body of knowledge that all novices to the field of clinical engineering must understand. It delivers the reader an appreciation for the vast knowledge one should be competent in and the benefit from realizing how to prepare for their next step in their career." --Yadin, D. Book Review. Global Clinical Engineering Journal, 4(1), 4-7.
"As written, this text will serve many interested in the field of clinical engineering with a useful over- view of the field and some of its history in the United States. As is evident from the text, further reading and experience is needed for one to be able to contribute to this valuable field of endeavor." --IEEE
