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.
