Abstract EN
Medical imaging equipment (MIE) is the baseline of providing patient diagnosis in healthcare facilities.
However, that type of equipment poses high risk for patients, operators, and environment in terms of technology and application.
Considering risk management in MIE management is rarely covered in literature.
The study proposes a methodology that controls risks associated with MIE management.
The methodology is based on proposing a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) that lead to identify a set of undesired events (UDEs), and through a risk matrix, a risk level is evaluated.
By using cloud computing software, risks could be controlled to be manageable.
The methodology was verified by using a data set of 204 pieces of MIE along 104 hospitals, which belong to Egyptian Ministry of Health.
Results point to appropriateness of proposed KPIs and UDEs in risk evaluation and control.
Thus, the study reveals that optimizing risks taking into account the costs has an impact on risk control of MIE management.
