Medical Equipment Maintenance Management and Optimization in Healthcare Facilities: Literature Review

The goal of this paper is to summarize the current literature on maintenance management, optimization techniques of medical equipment in healthcare facilities and try to critique the deficits of each technique. Comprehensive reviews of the literature and select articles were conducted to identify the various optimization techniques, maintenance management models, and the most popular and applicable models in real-world applications. This review found that there is a scarcity of current studies in the field of maintenance optimization modeling of medical equipment. Further studies and research are needed. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on maintenance management and optimization techniques for medical equipment. It will be a valuable resource for researchers, maintenance professionals, and clinical engineers who are interested in understanding the importance of maintenance management and the various optimization techniques that can be used to make informed decisions about medical equipment assets.
