Towards Digitization of Hospital Maintenance in Economic Community of West African States

Abstract

The physical recording of maintenance activities in hospitals through the use of registers or other hard media is subject to the problem of Quality archiving. To meet these challenges, it is necessary to encourage Computer-aided Maintenance Management System. Over the past decade, software has been installed and the actors concerned have been trained, but the challenge to be met is the sustainable use of these tools. An emulation strategy is envisaged. It consists in organizing a champions league. To argue this ranking, performance indicators are identified. A completeness rate of more than 95% refers to the highest score, in this case 4. A score of 3 is reserved for effective entry between 95% and 75%. The score of 2 is given to the digitized recording of more than 50% of the information and less than 75%. The unit note is aligned in the range from 50% to 35%. Finally, the zero score represents an entry of less than 35% of the package. Similar reasoning is used for the readiness rate. The results are represented in the form of a color map. Red cards will be awarded to structures with a zero score. Yellow cards will be assigned to score 1. The color codes for scores 2, 3 and 4 will be orange, blue and green respectively. In short, the digitization of activities around this technical service must be motivated to perpetuate information and have reliable data to better size the hospital maintenance budget, among others.
