dc.description.abstractIn support of the focus on improved performance of health systems¹ this study forms part of an on-going project aimed at establishing indicators for the performance and sustainability of Clinical Engineering Services², as an integral part of cost-effective healthcare service delivery. The study itself develops a working framework for achieving the objectives ofthe project. The general function of a Clinical Engineering Service is to provide a supportive role in the planning, evaluation, procurement, installation, utilisation and maintenance of medical devices (defined as including all medical/surgical devices, equipment and instruments). However, the boundaries of these support roles are not clear and welldefined, as what applies to one country or institution does not necessarily apply to another. Also, a clinical engineering service can range from one isolated but dedicated individual to a fully equipped department with professional and technical/artisan staff, supported by adequate technological and administrative infrastructures, to a shared regional/central resource centre.en_ZA
