The Role of the Medical Engineering Department in Hospital Annual Equipment Planning and Budgeting

Abstract

The hospital annual equipment planning and budgeting (called budget planning for short) is not only a requirement of the comprehensive budget management system in public hospitals but also an important issue of modern hospital management. In this study, we demonstrated the responsibilities and functions of the relevant functional departments in budget preparation and pointed out the problems that still exist in budget preparation. A comprehensive and scientific annual equipment plan of budget planning can make the limited medical equipment resources get a reasonable allocation and effective use, and it is also one of the important symbols reflecting the level of hospital management under the new situation.
