Job Description and Requirements
|
MTS is seeking Biomedical Maintenance Technicians and Biomedical and Clinical Engineers to evaluate commercial capabilities for technology assessment and capital equipment asset management in a health care setting at multiple DOD hospitals. Selected candidates must have extensive knowledge of current hospital equipment functions and capabilities, and be able to conduct independent research on new/emerging technologies for the purpose of lowering patient care cost to acquisition cost ratios. Must be able to use commercial, for-profit equipment utilization factors tempered by contingency issues unique to military hospitals and apply them to facility's workload to determine how the MTF compares with commercial counterparts, to establish benchmarks and provide an assessment.
Must also be able to determine whether a facility's existing equipment uses abandoned or obsolete technology and whether the equipment meets standards for acceptability. Experience with market surveys of current technology, a comprehensive evaluation of existing equipment, an evaluation of trends and developments that will affect diagnostic imaging, patient monitoring, laboratory requirements and other emerging technologies at healthcare facilities and knowledge of contract information where pertinent is essential to this position. The evaluation may also include telecommunications equipment to determine if the existing infrastructure will support new teleradiology initiatives. Must have an understanding of the impact outsourcing of maintenance contracts has on the availability of the devices being assessed. Must also be able to develop and provide acquisition strategies for new and emerging medical systems within their sub-specialty.
Must be willing to travel to multiple DOD healthcare sites to perform on-site interviews with departmental staff and evaluations of current technology and management operations within the healthcare setting (hospital, radiology or clinical laboratory departments, etc.) for the purpose of gathering information and validating previously submitted data. Must be able to observe scheduling and patient-flow patterns, and evaluate quality of service and the condition and utilization of existing equipment and provide an unbiased review of the clinical processes, requirements, operations, and equipment for diagnostic imaging, clinical laboratory, patient monitoring systems and other patient care equipment.
