Assessment of medical device needs
Needs assessment is used to identify and correct gaps between the existing situation and the desired situation. It is a strategic activity included in the planning process, which aims to improve current results or remedy shortcomings.
General approach to needs assessment
The needs assessment consists of identifying and defining the priority needs in terms of medical devices. The end user is also of paramount importance and must be involved in any evaluation.
A thorough needs assessment covers the potential effects on the performance of users of medical equipment, and on service delivery in the context of health system capacities and service delivery priorities.
Assessment process
The needs assessment process is a powerful tool for determining the medical device needs of a facility, region or country. By gathering baseline information and comparing it to a desired standard, the existing gap can be seen.
