Abstract
Biomedical equipment data records for a medical institution are stored in a database and integrated with other information sources within and external to the institution. The equipment data may include identification of equipment components, departmental assignments, site locations, performance data, service data, and so forth. Additional information resources may include hospital information systems, departmental information systems, financial records, external reference materials, and reference data for similarly profiled institutions. The additional resources provide a basis for more detailed analysis, planning, and reporting of equipment inventory management, performance, and servicing.
