Abstract :
The Biomedical Engineering Department at Mount Sinai Medical Hospital, New York, has the overall responsibility of managing patient care equipment and systems throughout the Medical Center. It is an absolute necessity to maintain detailed information on the history and maintenance of these equipment, from a regulatory standpoint as well as to ascertain good engineering practices. A Local Area Network (LAN) will enable the Biomedical Engineering Department to improve its efficiency and effectiveness to maintain equipment.
