GANDUR, F. H; ESCOBAR, N. J; GALEANO, B. J  and  GARCIA, J. H. ADAPTATION OF A METHODOLOGY FOR PROCUREMENT PROCESSES OF AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS IN HEALTH SERVICES. Rev. ing. biomed. [online]. 2015, vol.9, n.18, pp.89-93. ISSN 1909-9762.

The effective acquisition of health technologies is focused on improving the quality and efficiency in the provision of health services as it is a complex process. Within this process the technical and clinical evaluation are highlighted. The objective of the health technology assessment is to collect, analyze, and synthesize information and knowledge to help improve decisionmaking in medical practice and health policy. This paper presents an evaluation process of acquiring air conditioning systems in health care facilities, based on the definition of variables into a field evaluation; these variables quantify the technical and functional team in their clinical and economic environment. Similarly, it is intended to promote in clinical engineering departments, the implementation of widely accepted methodologies and effectiveness that have, as its primary objective, the acquisition of technologies in evidence-based health.

Keywords : Air Conditioning; White Areas; Technical Evaluation; Legal Evaluation; Economic Evaluation.
