C.P, Carolina  y  P. H., Lizeth. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT MODELS. Rev. ing. biomed. [online]. 2015, vol.9, n.18, pp.41-49. ISSN 1909-9762.

The management of health technology is a key element to ensuring safe, quality patient care. Many institutions have designed management models focused on achieving this goal. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the models proposed by associations such as the American College of Clinical Engineering (ACCE), Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and a guide done by the Ministry of Social Protection of Colombia (MPS). Two technology assessment methodologies were used: a doctoral thesis at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and the proposal made by the National Center for Health Technology Excellence (CENETEC). Subsequently the advantages and disadvantages of each are identified. The study results indicate that each model has strengths that can be exploited in building a consensus model in line with the needs of health institutions (IPS, in Colombia) in the country and the operating conditions of the Colombian health system.
