Use of a spreadsheet to develop and track budget performance.

Budgetary performance and responsibility have become as important to many clinical engineering departments as their technical performance. A spreadsheet software package operating on a personal computer is an ideal way to help prepare a budget and to track actual budget performance. The spreadsheet can also become an excellent means for communicating, and possibly justifying, the department's actual budget performance to administration.

A computerized system for equipment control and preventive maintenance.

The Medical Engineering Laboratory of the University of Rochester-Strong Memorial Hospital is responsible for service of and scheduled preventive maintenance on approximately 6000 pieces of patient-care and laboratory equipment. A database management computer program has been developed t increase the efficiency and accuracy with which equipment control records are maintained. The program has three major divisions: data files, update programs, and report programs. The date files are for storage of all records and tables; the update programs are for convenient data entry, corrections, and changes; the report programs are for creating all the forms, records, and reports associated with the equipment control program. Besides maintaining all of the identifying information, inspection results, and service reports on all of the medical equipment, the system can maintain the department's parts inventory records and prepare itemized bills.
