A Systematic Review of Medical Equipment Reliability Assessment in Improving the Quality of Healthcare Services

Abstract

The medical equipment is an essential part of the healthcare system that primarily used to assist and cure the patient through specific procedures. In the current healthcare industry, the evolution of medical equipment is rapidly growing and enhancing the quality of healthcare services by incorporating advanced technologies such as advanced x-ray technology, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography. If the medical equipment fails or does not work correctly, it will have an enormous impact on healthcare services. The sudden malfunction of the medical equipment led to injury and death of tens of patients. Thus, it is crucial to ensuring medical equipment highest level of reliability to prevent any consequence damage.
