A proposed artificial intelligence algorithm for assessing of risk priority for medical equipment in Iraqi Hospital

Abstract EN

This paper presents a robust algorithm for the assessment of risk priority for medical equipment based on the calculation of static and dynamic risk factors and Kohnen Self Organization Maps (SOM).

Four risk parameters have been calculated for 345 medical devices in two general hospitals in Baghdad.

Static risk factor components (equipment function and physical risk) and dynamics risk components (maintenance requirements and risk points) have been calculated.

These risk components are used as an input to the unsupervised Kohonen self organization maps.

The accuracy of the network was found to be equal to 98% for the proposed system.

We conclude that the proposed model gives fast and accurate assessment for risk priority and it works as promising tool for risk factor assessment for the service departments in large hospitals in Iraq.
