Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a method for evaluating the cost effectiveness of medical device technologies by examining the classification of medical device operating expenses and structures of clinical engineering departments. Therefore, the cost efficiency of medical device technologies was analyzed by evaluating the medical equipment operating expenses of the health facilities connected to the Istanbul Beyoğlu Public Hospitals Union (IBPHU) by using the normalized weighted arithmetic average method. While medical device operating expenses are evaluated, the relation between the total inventory value and technological development levels of the inventory device groups is used. IBPHU’s data on medical device operating expenses for 2015 were obtained by the Ministry of Health Business Intelligence and Uniform Accounting Systems that were compared with calculated results by developed method. Medical device inventory is classified as high, medium, low and simple technology which are based on technological development level. The ratio of acquisition costs of technology device groups to total inventory acquisition costs were obtained as 40,08%, 29,14%, 22,62% and 8,16%, respectively. By using literature and our study’s methodology, the upper limit of the annual cost effectiveness ratio in medical device operation costs was obtained, which is 10.41% of total inventory acquisition value. The annual ratio of the total value of biomedical service and spare parts expenditures to the inventory value in the health facilities connected to the IBPHU was calculated as 6.74%. According to the results, the IBPHU’s operational cost of medical device technologies of was observed to be within effective cost limits for 2015. It is thought that this method will be one of the criteria that will benefit to health technology managers in evaluating the effectiveness of clinical engineering departments.

Özet

Bu çalışmada medikal cihaz işletim giderlerinin sınıflandırılması ve Klinik Mühendislik Departman (KMD) yapıları incelenerek, medikal cihaz teknolojilerinin maliyet etkililiğinin değerlendirilmesi için bir yöntem oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu sebeple, normalize edilmiş ağırlıklı aritmetik ortalama metoduyla İstanbul Beyoğlu Kamu Hastaneleri Birliği’ne (BKHB) bağlı sağlık tesislerinin 2015 yılı medikal cihaz işletim giderleri değerlendirilerek medikal cihaz teknolojilerinin maliyet etkililiği incelenmiştir. Medikal cihaz işletim giderleri değerlendirilirken toplam envanter değeri ile envanteri oluşturan cihaz gruplarının teknolojik gelişmişlik seviyeleri arasındaki ilişki kullanılmıştır. BKHB 2015 yılı medikal cihaz işletim giderlerine ait veriler Sağlık Bakanlığı İş Zekâsı ve Tek Düzen Muhasebe Sistemlerinden elde edilmiş ve geliştirilen yöntem vasıtasıyla hesaplanan sonuçlar ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Medikal cihaz envanteri teknolojik gelişmişlik seviyelerine göre gruplandırılarak yüksek, orta, düşük ve basit teknoloji cihaz grupları edinim maliyetlerinin toplam envanter edinim bedellerine oranları sırasıyla %40,08, %29,14, %22,62 ve %8,16 olarak elde edilmiştir. Literatür bilgileri ve çalışmamızın metodolojisi kullanılarak, medikal cihaz işletim giderlerinin yıllık maliyet etkililik üst sınırı, toplam envanter edinim değerinin %10,41’i olarak elde edilmiştir. BKHB bağlı sağlık tesislerinde yıllık biyomedikal servis ve yedek parça harcamaları toplamının envanter değerine oranı ise 6,74% olarak hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar ışığında BKHB medikal cihaz teknolojileri işletme maliyetlerinin 2015 yılı için maliyet etkililik sınırları içerisinde kaldığı gözlemlenmiştir. Geliştirilen bu yöntemin sağlık teknolojileri yöneticilerine KMD’lerin etkililiğinin değerlendirilmesinde fayda sağlayacak kriterlerden biri olacağı düşünülmektedir.
