Objectives
COMPETENCES THAT THE STUDENT ACQUIRES WITH THIS MATTER - Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas - That students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of ¿¿study - That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments - That students have the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely autonomous. - Ability to design and carry out technological projects in the field of the application of engineering to medicine, as well as to analyze and interpret its results. - Ability to evaluate medical equipment and instrumentation in complex multidisciplinary environments, assessing the needs of different clinical users and offering objective measures for decision making. - Ability to understand and use advanced statistical methods for conducting scientific studies, evaluation of equipment from the point of view of effectiveness, accreditation for medical use or study of comparative effects in patients. - Ability to apply advanced techniques of health technology management, both in technical and economic aspects, and including the acquisition and maintenance thereof. - Ability to apply the appropriate innovation management tools and assess the consequences of decisions on aspects of protection of intellectual and industrial property. - Ability to plan, manage and supervise the installation and maintenance of non-implantable active medical devices in electromedicine systems and their associated facilities, under quality criteria, in safety conditions and complying with current regulations. - Ability to plan, manage and supervise hospital infrastructures under quality criteria, in safety conditions and complying with current regulations. In overcoming this subject, students should be able to: - Locate the clinical services within the hospital organization, as well as the active non-implantable medical devices in each of them, describing the structure of the Spanish health system. - Characterize the clinical electromedical service of a hospital / health institution and its relationship with technical assistance services, recognizing the importance and impact of its proper management. - Comply with the rules of prevention of occupational risks and environmental protection, identifying the associated risks, measures and equipment to prevent them. - Plan and manage the waste treatment generated, identifying the pollutants and describing their effects on the environment. - Apply quality plans in all the processes carried out and supervised, describing the assurance and quality management regulations. - Evaluate the risks derived from their activity, analyzing the working conditions and the risk factors present in their work environment. - Participate in the development of a risk prevention plan in a small company, identifying the responsibilities of all the agents involved. - Apply prevention and protection measures, analyzing the situations of risk in the work environment of the superior technician of Clinical Electromedicine. - Plan and manage the waste treatment generated, identifying the pollutants and describing their effects on the environment. - Apply quality plans in all the processes carried out and supervised, describing the assurance and quality management regulations. - Evaluate the risks derived from their activity, analyzing the working conditions and the risk factors present in their work environment. - Participate in the development of a risk prevention plan in a small company, identifying the responsibilities of all the agents involved. - Apply prevention and protection measures, analyzing the situations of risk in the work environment of the superior technician of Clinical Electromedicine. - Comply with the rules of prevention of occupational risks and environmental protection, identifying the associated risks, measures and equipment to prevent them. - Recognize the main risks of the patient's environment in a health center, describing their characteristics and the repercussions of them. - Prepare a plan for the renewal and acquisition of new systems and equipment for clinical electromedicine, analyzing the needs
Description of contents: programme
Supervision and design of electromedical installations This subject covers the study of the electromedical equipment of a health center from the point of view of the planning and management of the same. The equipment to be treated will be: monitoring and registration, critical care, laboratory, medical image, radiodiagnosis and radiotherapy, rehabilitation, functional tests, hemodialysis and water treatment and sterilization Once the subject is completed, the student will be able to define the supervision plan of the assembly, start-up and maintenance, create and update an inventory plan; process and file documentation; project information actions aimed at clinical and technical staff as well as the redefinition of electromedicine facilities.
