ABSTRACT

Health Technology (HT) is vital to global health care. The dependence of health, rehabilitation, and wellness programs 
on technology for the delivery of services has never been greater. It is essential therefore, that HT be optimally man-
aged. Clinical and biomedical engineers have been recognized by World Health Organization (WHO) as essential to 
providing this critical management.

At the 1st International Clinical Engineering and HT Management Congress and Summit held in China in 2015, a reso-
lution was adopted by the global Clinical Engineering (CE) country participants to identify and promote CE unique 
qualifications, and to record the CE contributions to the improvement of world health status. Review of published 
literature and submissions of case studies resulted in the first group of CE success stories. The review captured 150 
stories from 90 countries – spanning over a period from the prior 10 years and the results were presented to health 
leaders at the WHO World Health Assembly in 2016. Last year, in 2017, additional 250 case studies from a total of 125 
countries were added from the 2016-2017 period. This paper describes the evidence identified during the review, 
their sources and the 6 major categories they represent. 

Keywords – Healthcare, Clinical Engineering, Technology Management, Safety, Efficacy, Outcomes, Innovation, Success 
Stories

INTRODUCTION
Health Technology (HT) is vital to health and the de-

pendence of health, rehabilitation and wellness programs 
on HT for the delivery of their services has never been 
greater. Therefore, it essential that competent and trained 
professionals manage in an optimal and safe way for 
better response to the burden of diseases and resources. 
Trained clinical engineers are academically prepared and 

appropriately responsible for HT life-cycle management, 
fulfilling a critical role as members of the healthcare team 
focusing on availability and reliability of safe and effective 
technologies and outcomes.

Over the past 50 years growing concerns among Clinical 
Engineering (CE) professionals about lack of knowledge of 
government agencies and key stakeholders, coupled with 
the mute recognition for their vast contributions to the 
safe and effective creation and deployment of HT, led to 
programs that address these concerns. Knowledge about 

IFMBE-CED is the International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering 
(IFMBE)-Clinical Engineering Division (CED), currently representing clinical 
engineers (hospital-based biomedical engineers) in these roles in 165 countries.

and recognition for the professionals of CE community 
who provide critical services will help recruit students and 
future practitioners into this needed field. Is CE practice 
important for health, rehabilitation, and wellness programs 
and are their contributions recognized? This paper shares 
the methodology and the findings identified following a 
three-year examination of published evidence. 

Following the international congress on CE and HT 
management in Hangzhou, China in 2015, a Global CE 
Summit took place to determine whether regional issues 
are shared across the world and present common inter-
national challenges requiring global strategy for optimal 
addressing of the critical issues. After order ranking of the 
issues that identified at the end of the Global CE Summit, 
the attending members voted that there were 2 major 
concerns: (1) a lack of understanding of and recognition 
for the CE contribution to improvements in healthcare 
delivery. (2) a lack of sufficient education and training for 
both those who would like to enter the field and for ongoing 
professional development. An action plan was devised to 
address these and other issues raised at the summit. At the 
second global CE summit in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2017, these 
challenges were reviewed and confirmed with attendees 
adopting resolutions seeking to continue to address these 
concerns. The action plans from the summit focused first 
on data collection identifying if CE contributions qualify 
as improvement to world health and wellness and can 
they be substantiated through evidence-based records. 
Addressing the second issue, an international survey of 
Body of Practice and Body of Knowledge was initiated 
and has been now completed.

METHODS

Rationale
A task force consisting of senior certified clinical engi-

neers from IFMBE/CED issued a global call for submissions 
of evidence-supported case studies of CE contributions 
to the improvement of delivery of healthcare services or 
of patient outcomes. In addition, literature survey was 
performed in 2016, and of both sources, the literature 
and the submitted studies, an aggregate volume of 150 
responses from 90 countries was examined and quali-
fied as evidence-based contributions, (see http://global.
icehtmc.com/publication/healthteachnology). 

Results were rated and tabulated into categories (In-
novation, Improved Access, Health Systems, HT Manage-
ment, Safety & Quality, and e-Technology) and incorporated 
into document http://global.icehtmc.com/publication/
globalsuccess that was submitted to WHO’s World Health 
Assembly in May 2016. 

We expanded our review in 2017, as submissions 
and publications continued to be collected, to include 
conference-accepted data that was presented and pub-
lished at IFMBE sponsored events. Our examination 
methodology identified 250 additional stories from 35 
more countries – now raising the total volume over 2 
years to 400 publications from 125 countries. These CE 
success stories point to improved outcomes with benefit 
from HT, and present overall demonstration of complex 
integrated systems that must be effectively managed for 
their optimal and safe clinical and business impact to be 
realized. Clinical outcomes included change in human life 
quality, care management decisions support, improving 
365×24×7 readiness, and improving operational efficiency.

Definitions
For the present study, we classified the collected da-

tabase into 6 categories with definitions: 
• Innovation

Through provision of new HT solutions, adaptation of 
existing, or a combination to address several issues.

• Improved Access
Ease in reaching HT-related health services or facilities 
in terms of location, time, and ease of approach.

• Health Systems
Positive impact from more efficient and effective deploy-
ment of HT at national or policy level.

• Safety & Quality
HT’s positive impact on health services safety or quality 
outcomes, or through HT human resource development.

• Healthcare Technology Management (HTM)
Establishing or improving HTM methodology resulting 
in improved population health or wellness.

• e-Technology
Improvements achieved due to deployment of Internet-
based HT tools.

Measures
During the first Global Clinical Engineering Summit in 

2015 the question was raised whether evidence of success-
ful HT innovation, management, accessibility, e-technology 
applications, safety, and quality outcomes can be identified. 
To accomplish this, a successful project (or submission) 
was defined as satisfying 2 objective measures developed 
by the sponsors. These measures included timeliness, 
cost saving, deployment or adoption by care providers, 
impact on services, and overall projection for success. 
Each success metric was evaluated using 3-point scale 
against a statement representing the success construct 
(1= strongly disagree; 3=strongly agree). 

• Timeliness refers to whether the project/submission 
was implemented in timely manner. This was mea-
sure by the statement “The submission will impact 
outcomes on present time.” 

• The cost measure was evaluated by whether the sub-
mission’s overall costs were within budget constraints 
and reasonable for the conditions in the region. This 
was assessed by the statement, “The submission cost 
objectives can be met in the region.”

• The next 2 metrics were combined into the statements 
“The submission will be deployed by its intended us-
ers” and “The submission will have a positive impact 
on those who will adopt it.” 

• Finally, overall submission success expectations were 
assessed with the statement “All things considered, 
the submission will be a success.”

Innovation is the beginning of the technology life cycle 
where new ideas offer solutions to current problems faced 
by healthcare providers or their patients. Clinical engineers 
are well positioned to understand the current problems 
and guide different or new approaches to resolve them. 
Innovation, in our category, means to demonstrate the 
team approach to solving problems all the way from the 
concept and building of a prototype, to continuing with 
clinical trials, and a demonstration of compliance with 
standards, regulations, and intended outcomes. Improved 
Access to services follows the innovation stage the same 
as the Safety and Quality category, e-Technology category, 
and HTM. Products and applications that are considered 

in successful deployment were rated high and included 
in the total count for the evidence-based category.

RESULTS

Summaries of the 6 categories of submissions database 
are described below. They come from the CED’s 2016 
Health Technologies Resources1 document provided to 
the World Health Assembly, WHO’s May 2017, 3rd Global 
Forum on Medical Devices2; (3), the CED’s September 2017 
Sao Paulo II ICEHTMC3 (S), and others4 from 2016-2017 
IFMBE published sources (O):

A new resource summary document of the findings – with 
links below – demonstrates that a benefit was registered 
in the 6 categories from every region around the world. 
Overall this review identified evidence from 400 case 
studies received from 125 countries where management 
of medical devices (main component of health technolo-
gies) made a positive difference over the past 12 years.

The 2007 WHO WHA Resolution 60.29 urges Member 
States to create national HT management plans in collabo-
ration with biomedical engineers. WHO further clarified 
the definition of these personnel in 2017- 2018 as part of 
a global survey5 (http://www.who.int/medical_devices/
support/en/) in coordination with IFMBE CED.

“Trained and qualified biomedical engineering profes-
sionals are required to design, evaluate, regulate, maintain 
and manage medical devices, and train on their safe use 
in health systems around the world.5” These occupations 
have various names in different countries like clinical 
engineers, medical engineers, … and related profession-
als and technicians. [WHO and IFMBE CED surveys have 
identified over 800,000 of these global professionals in 
2018.]

The case studies – grouped in 6 categories – aim to 
formulate national strategies and plans to improve use of 
health technologies and better manage costs. In several 
countries, this has best been achieved by developing a HT 
unit at the Ministry of Health level with CE leadership. The 
studies provide clear evidence that HT is beneficial; at 
times, presenting complex systems that must be effectively 
guided and managed for optimal impact to be realized.

• Innovation
• Access
• Management
• Health Systems
• e-Technology
• Quality & Safety

The case studies are actually Health Technology Success 
Stories demonstrating, in a limited resource environment, 
that it is desirable to include professional HT expertise, 
such as clinical engineers, in national decision-making in 
order to maximize health systems’ services. Case studies 
from the links on the following pages demonstrate these 
benefits:

• Access: The Ministry of Health HT Unit-led project 
in Albania that doubled access to critical diagnostic 
services, such as computed tomography scanners, 
magnetic resonance and angiography imaging, while 
reducing equipment downtime to zero, and signifi-
cantly reducing cost.

• Health Systems: Improved coordination between 
multiple stakeholders in the National Laboratory 
and its satellites in Colombia, led by the Ministry 
of Health and clinical engineers who partner with 
experts from academia and industry.

• Quality & Safety: A clinical engineer-led 122-hospital 
program in the Shanghai region that cooperates with 
officials, industry, and academic entities, resulting in 
improved device user satisfaction, tracking of emerging 
technologies, and closer partnerships with industry.

CONCLUSIONS

HT is vital to health and the dependence of health, re-
habilitation, and wellness programs that rely on HT for the 
delivery of their services has never been greater. Beyond 
the ongoing healthcare burdens of population growth, 
political and economic instability, disease management, 
disasters, the refugee crisis, accidents, and terror attacks, 
world healthcare technological systems are facing enor-
mous challenges to be innovative and optimally managed. 
The transition into health programs for the 21st century 
requires the employment of trained competent CE pro-
fessionals. Disease prevention, treatment, and rehabilita-
tion is more efficient and effective when health services 

are provided with appropriate tools. Along with World 
Health Organization (WHO), the International Federation 
for Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE) Clinical 
Engineering Division (CED) recognizes and emphasizes 
how important the use of appropriate, integrated, and 
safe health technologies (HT) is to successful outcomes 
for every healthcare delivery systems. In the May 2016 
HT resource document that was prepared for the World 
Health Assembly (WHA), a recommendation was made: 
Health technologies must be managed to ensure full clini-
cal benefit and expected financial return on investment.

It is critical, therefore, that with limited resources, HT 
must be professionally managed and its deployment over 
its life cycle be appropriately guided. This paper describes 
the extensive study of published data on the vast contri-
butions by CE that positively impact patient outcomes. 
This study shows that every region of the world including 
low-resource regions face a challenge of improving health 
services while facing varied levels of infrastructure and 
human resources capacity challenges. CEs play vital roles 
in all stages of healthcare technology life-cycle manage-
ment. From creation to planning, and from commissioning 
to utilization and integration; technology-based systems 
must and can be managed for optimal performance. In 
each of the technology life-cycle stages the requirement 
for trained and competent CE input makes critical differ-
ence as shown in the analyzed evidence reviewed here. It 
is our hope that government agencies and other interested 
parties will have better understanding of CEs role and 
thus will support their inclusion in the healthcare team 
of professionals.

RECOMMENDATION

To encourage the availability, recognition, and increased 
participation of clinical engineers as part of the health 
workforce in your national healthcare delivery programs.2
