The HOSPITAL ENGINEERING MANUAL is the only publication that
combines:
SECTION ONE: Hospital Engineering Program
Management
Each Chapter contains:
PART ONE--Principles, theory, history, rationale. PART
TWO-Applications, examples, samples, cases, models.
You get
both the WHY and the HOW TO for each topic for hospitals, regardless of
size.
Hospital Engineering personnel have experienced dramatic
changes in their profession, hospitals, and requirements for health care
systems. The HOSPITAL ENGINEERING MANUAL not only contains the standards
of practice for operational programs but also embodies the major emphasis on
cost control, benefit/analysis and justifications demonstrated by the sections
related to decision/cost impact.
Each chapter stresses the need
for control, not only from the stand point of program operation but also for
control of facility and capital equipment as it relates to risk of liability
because of lack of proper training, documentation or operation of equipment by
users.
SECTION TWO: Hospital Safety
Current material to develop a safety program, policy, and
procedure for any size hospital. All the standard safety topics such as job
safety analysis, hazard recognition, electrical safety, fire protection and
education are covered. Industrial hygiene, hazardous waste, hazard
communication, and disaster preparation are covered to aid in meeting the JCAHO
standards. Easy to understand concepts are presented with HOW TO approaches for
hospital engineering personnel.
SECTION THREE: Equipment
Planning and Environmental Criteria for Medical Facilities
Expanding roles of hospital engineers require
greater knowledge of overall hospital programs. Full criteria for hospital
engineering and environmental systems include lists, tables, and data for
facility and medical equipment and for environmental systems.
SECTION FOUR: Energy Management
A total energy management program for a health care facility.
Concepts and HOW TO ideas to develop a comprehensive plan and schedule for a
total energy management program for any size hospital.
Over 300
pages of material to aid the hospital engineer to develop a balanced hospital
engineering program for any size hospital. U.S. $90. including Shipping and Handling and add U.S. $35 for air mail
overseas.
