Abstract
Background and Aims:
Healthcare debates emphasize optimizing costly imaging equipment use (e.g., CT, X-rays) contributing significantly to expenses. This study assessed American and Canadian utilization techniques, integrating a modified equation. Objectives were to aid decision-makers in evaluating current equipment use and refining equations for better efficiency.
Methods:
Data collection and analysis evaluated current utilization approaches. Comparative analysis using the modified equation highlighted differences between American and Canadian standards, offering insights for improvement.
Results:
Findings revealed disparities in techniques used in both healthcare systems. The modified equation enabled a detailed comparison, pinpointing areas for enhancement. Decision-makers gained a comprehensive understanding of equipment usage, identifying avenues for efficiency and resource optimization.
Conclusions:
The study underscores the necessity of reassessing and refining utilization equations for expensive medical equipment. Insights provided a roadmap for decision-makers, enabling them to implement strategies enhancing efficiency and maximizing resource potential. By aiming for more effective utilization, healthcare systems can navigate challenges posed by costly imaging equipment, ultimately advancing healthcare quality and accessibility.
Key words: Utilization, Capital Medical Equipment, Emergency Department, Diagnostic Medical Imaging Equipment.
