Abstract
In 1979 the Federal Ministry for Research & Technology (BMFT) of the Federal Republic of Germany started a four-year programme to investigate the feasibility, efficiency and profitability of clinical engineering centres within hospitals. Results from the 11 participating hospitals are now available, and demonstrate that the relative costs for maintenance could be reduced by 2·3 per cent. In-house services in larger or specialised hospitals have been shown to provide substantial cost savings in addition to a reduction of downtime and of medical equipment misuse, and this is bound to increase patient safety. All the service groups will stay in place once this study is finished. It may be assumed that they will nurture further growth of the field of ‘clinical engineering’.
