To continue this example, the standard requires the management plan to establish emergency
procedures regarding “when and how to perform emergency clinical interventions
when medical equipment fails.” This is generally a responsibility assigned to patient care
components of the organization, such as nursing services, rather than to clinical engineering.
However, this responsibility should be addressed in the medical equipment management
plan and it should be considered as a component of the hospital’s environment
of care program.
Each management plan also should include a statement of the scope of the plan. In general,
the scope of a hospital’s environment of care program should cover all facilities in
which the hospital’s patients receive care, and all facilities in which the hospital’s employees
work. The scope statements for particular management plans may build on this fundamental
definition. For example, the scope statement for a hospital’s medical equipment
management plan might specify the places in which medical equipment is used (e.g.,
main hospital, offsite clinics, home care) or categories of medical equipment that the hospital
manages in different ways (e.g., imaging equipment maintenance managed by radiology,
general medical equipment managed by clinical engineering). However, the scope
statement is written for a particular management plans, it must cover the full range of
responsibilities for the hospital and not only those for an individual department.
Following the statements of objectives and scope, each environment of care management
plan should address all intent statements in the relevant standards. It is useful to
include the actual intent statement and to follow it with a brief description of ways in
which hospital meets the intent. Describe who does what with regard to the intent statement
in a few sentences. This description should be followed by references to detailed
policies, procedures, and documentation that the reader may pursue for further information.
