我国临床工程学科的发展与思考

Developments and thoughts on clinical engineering

临床工程是一种应用工程理论和技术,是用医学与工程结合的方法研究解决医院中有关医疗设备、医用耗材、医用器具、应用软件和体外试剂的技术管理与技术支持相关问题的学科。临床工程研究涉及临床医疗器械应用与医疗技术融合。我国医药卫生体制改革的深人为临床工程学科带来新的发展机遇,学科发展不断加快。然而,作为新兴学科,临床工程还存在重视不足、理念落后、方向单一等问题。对临床工程学的内涵进行阐述,分析发展现状,剖析存在的主要问题,探讨临床工程部门职能和临床工程师的专业定位,提出临床工程学科和临床工程人员的转型方式与发展方向,为构建新型临床工程学工作系统提供基础。

Clinical engineering is an applied engineering theory and technology that combines medical and engineering methods to study and solve problems related to technical management and technical support of medical equipment,medical consumables,medical appliances,application software and in vitro reagents in hospitals.Clinical engineering researches involve the integration of clinical medical device applications with medical technology.The deepening of China's medical and health system reform has brought new development opportunities to the clinical engineering discipline,and the development of this discipline has been accelerating.However,as an emerging discipline,clinical engineering still has problems such as insufficient attention,backward ideas,and lack of directions.In this paper,the connotation of clinical engineering was explained,and the development status of clinical engineering and the main problems were analyzed.The functions of clinical engineering departments and the professional positioning of clinical engineers were also analyzed.The transformation mode and development direction of clinical engineering disciplines and clinical engineers were proposed.This paper can provide the basis for the construction of a new clinical engineering work system.
