The Ministry of Health is drafting a Circular stipulating the establishment of norms for specialized machinery and equipment for the medical sector.
According to the draft, specialized machinery and equipment for the medical industry: are machines and equipment that meet the standards of fixed assets used in the medical industry in the field of medical examination and treatment, research and training of medical staff. medical, preventive medicine.
Norms are developed and applied to each medical facility, determining the maximum permitted level of use of each type of specialized machinery and equipment suitable to the characteristics of the medical facility's professional tasks. Norms built must ensure stability, be implemented in a long time. When there is a change in technology, scope of expertise, scale of operation or other factors that make the norm no longer suitable with practical requirements, the organizations and individuals applying the norms shall have to take responsibility. report to competent authorities for consideration and adjustment or new construction accordingly.
The norm of similar work steps in professional tasks of different fields under the Ministry's state management should ensure conformity, no difference or contradiction. Ensure the unified focus in the State management of the Ministry on the work of norm building; encourage and promote the initiative rights of organizations and individuals to participate in formulating norms in the health sector.
Funding for the construction of norms shall be taken from the state budget or other sources. The establishment, allocation and management of funding for the construction of norms shall comply with the provisions of law.
Norms of specialized machinery and equipment of the unit are determined based on the unit's need to use equipment over a 5-year period. The norm on the number of devices of the unit is based on the used capacity in accordance with the characteristics and conditions of the unit.
List of specialized machinery and equipment of the unit
The draft clearly states that, based on the norm of specialized machinery and equipment for the medical industry, the units shall develop a list of specialized machinery and equipment suitable for work requirements according to the prescribed form.
When summarizing, determining the level must be sorted by specialty, specialty, on the principle that the same type of equipment is used in many specialties, specialties are only aggregated and arranged in one specialty, the most popular specialty. . (Example: Ultrasound machines are both used in the Department of General Internal Medicine and used in the Department of Diagnostic Imaging; when synthesized only in the Department of Radiology, the existing and normative quantities are equal to the total quantity. existing and total norms of the two faculties combined).
Existing devices are being monitored and managed with different names, but the features and uses are the same, can be used interchangeably and do not depend much on the capacity of the equipment. should be aggregated into a type of machinery and equipment. (For example: 37-degree incubator and 35-37-degree incubator are combined as 1 type; negative 200 refrigerator and 220 negative refrigerator are combined as 1 type....)
Machines and equipment with the same common name but the purposes and features of use are not the same, cannot be used interchangeably, or the demand for use is different with different capacity, they need to be separated to report the number. quantity and norm proposal (For example: same ultrasound machine but need to propose separately 4D ultrasound machine and 2D ultrasound machine; same biochemical testing machine but must propose separately for machine type and machine capacity) .
