Development of a Competency-based Training Pathway for Clinical Engineering Professionals

The training of clinical engineering professionals is essential to ensure the safety and efficiency of medical technology management. This study developed a competency-based training pathway for the maintenance and operation of infusion pumps, utilizing a competency matrix validated by specialists. The results demonstrated a significant increase in participants’ knowledge: in “preventive maintenance,” the advanced level rose from 0% to 63.2%, and in “calibration and configuration,” from 15.8% to 47.4%. The study confirms the effectiveness of training in improving technical skills, contributing to the quality of hospital services.

Abstract

The training of clinical engineering professionals is essential to ensure the safety and efficiency of medical technology management. This study developed a competency-based training pathway for the maintenance and operation of infusion pumps, utilizing a competency matrix validated by specialists. The results demonstrated a significant increase in participants’ knowledge: in “preventive maintenance,” the advanced level rose from 0% to 63.2%, and in “calibration and configuration,” from 15.8% to 47.4%. The study confirms the effectiveness of training in improving technical skills, contributing to the quality of hospital services.
