Abstract |
: |
The biomedical engineering departments (BMD) in health facilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia play important roles in promoting health services through advanced programs for the management of medical technology with the latest scientific approaches and engineering methods, yet it is challenging to assess the number of cadres necessary to perform these tasks as in other professions such as doctors Nurses and pharmacists. For the first time, this study was conducted at the level of Saudi Arabia for health care facilities with a capacity of 100 beds or more to estimate the details of the personnel required for BMD and determine the factors affecting them, for instance, facilities and equipment among other factors such as the roles and responsibilities of BMD in the health facility and the scope of service. In doing so, further inquiries were made to estimate graduates of the bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering or technology programs from national academies and forecast the Ministry of Health's (MOH) demand by 2030 AD in line with the vision of Saudi Arabia. During this research, a prototype form was developed to evaluate the roles of BMD in the health establishment, which found to have impact on the development of an innovative model for estimating the needs of the BMD manpower in its various technical and administrative categories as well other factors, which were found to be strongly correlated, have been studied.
As a result, the BMD staffing evaluation model was constructed according to the results of the thesis, which was tested on the sample of the study and proved to have a higher correlation than the actual staffing data with the majority of influencing parameters, so that it can be relied upon to predict the staffing demand and evaluate the staffing adequacy of the BMD. In addition, biomedical engineer per 10,000 populations has been obtained. The demand of MOH for biomedical engineers was estimated as well the estimated number of graduates of the academic programs by 2030 AD. It should be noted that the developed model has not considered working hours and some financial indicators such as maintenance costs due to anticipated unreliability of data that has been discussed thoroughly.
