The case study, at Aurora Health Care, a 15-hospital system with more than 100 clinics and imaging centers and a clinical engineering team of more than 100 members, was presented at the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation conference.

 

Aurora’s model used data on risk, equipment histories and failure rates to create an assessment process for all equipment device categories, helping staff establish varying maintenance frequencies.
