Surgical Equipment Preventive Maintenance Information System

Abstract

Medical equipment represents a significant investment in healthcare facilities and requires significant maintenance costs. It is crucial for healthcare facilities to have a planned maintenance program to ensure the safety, quality, and usability of medical equipment. Regular maintenance is also expected to extend the lifespan of medical equipment. However, most preventive maintenance planning and reporting is done manually, resulting in suboptimal and ineffective results. To facilitate these activities, a tool is needed to create a preventive maintenance information system for surgical equipment. First, a database design is prepared, then the information system model is created using Enterprise Architect, using use case diagrams, activity diagrams, and sequence diagrams. The information system is then created using the PHP programming language and a MySQL database. Research findings suggest that a Preventive Equipment Maintenance Information System ensures equipment continues to function properly and reduces the risk of serious damage that can lead to costly repairs. Therefore, this maintenance information system is not only about keeping equipment functioning properly; routine maintenance helps extend the life of equipment and ensures the safety of patients and medical personnel.
