Supply, Maintenance and Support of Medical Technology
A project team made up of highly qualified support engineers will be provided for
onsite and offsite support services.
Introduction
The concept of Managed Medical Technology services and support is one of the several
Medical Technology capacity development solutions that organisations are turning to in the
face of Medical Technology operational and strategic challenges. Medical Technology
Managed Services and Support involve a service provider who partially or fully takes charge
of specified Medical Technology operations at agreed costs and time frames and the client
who gives the services provider this control. Virtually all Medical Technology services can be
managed but organisations generally appoint external manager as a result of noted
deficiencies in internal Medical Technology teams and as a result of costs.
Njilo Technology Systems (NTS) is a professional Medical Technology solutions firm whose
services include Medical Technology Managed Services. NTS offers both public sector and
private sector organisations with comprehensive managed services through a team of
highly-equipped Medical Technology professionals. NTS services include hardware,
software and network support as well as strategic support.
NTS proposes the use of its managed services as a solution to high Medical
Technology costs, Medical Technology skills shortages, low Medical Technology
innovation drive and many other challenges being faced by organisations.

Problem statement
As a new establishment, North West Department of Health may require a list of
Medical Technology items and activities that may be combined into Medical
Technology Managed Solution that is specific to current needs and building to
future developments.
Like most Medical Technology challenges discussed in the section below, Medical
Technology expertise, limited Medical Technology capacity and high Medical Technology
costs have been cited as major hindrances in organisational Medical Technology strategy
implementation.

There is need to clean databases and to effectively integrate these with other data input
and output systems. While companies have the capacity to do this, the regularity with
which such exercises must be carried out might easily strain internal Medical
Technology departments.
Furthermore skills challenges and costs also come in as additional constraints.

Supply, Maintenance and Support of Medical Technology
As organisations attempt to save costs, the risks they continue to incur include loss of
business opportunities, loss of skilled labour, limited innovation and degradation of
infrastructure. Organisations end up incurring these risks as a result of capped budgets that
require them to operate within certain limit.

Possible solutions
Njilo Technology Systems offers solutions on both an operational and a strategic level.
Operational support
Operational support will be provided to address common operations-related challenges
that may develop. These are;
Capacity challenges
These are imposed by the relationship between what may be included in the development
phase of Medical Technology team sizes and the number and magnitude of operations they
are scheduled or expected to successfully execute. Most Medical Technology departments
are overloaded with responsibility. Most of their responsibility are related to internal
Medical Technology service provision.
Njilo Technology Systems (NTS) managed systems solutions aims to relieve The
Department of Health and its Medical Technology team of some of the responsibilities
and assisting in playing a role in developing operational systems.
Skills challenges
The Medical Technology discipline has expanded far and wide in terms of skills and
specialisations. Specialisation as a trend has grown due to the need to develop a highly-
powered professional who is masterful of all the elements. The disadvantage of
specialization to organisations is that many professionals of different specialities are now
required to successfully run an Medical Technology division. NTS, as a diversified Medical
Technology firm is able to provide various specialists as per required situations better
than both public and business corporations.
NTS is also able to provide skills to remedy skill-deficient sections of Medical Technology departments.

support aspects above, each tailored to the specific situation of North West Department of
Health as an organisation.
Financial aspects
The financial aspect of the proposed deal is based on the need to optimise limited financial
resources amongst various Medical Technology needs. NTS will present a detailed plan showing
how best theavailable limited financial resources can be used to attain the most critical Medical
Technology requirements. The financial constraints aspects includes the development of an
operational plan that ensures that organisations minimise opportunities lost as a result of money
matters.

INITIATION
Organisational research
Since organisations are different, no single Medical Technology Managed Services and
Support solution is appropriate for all businesses. In order to determine the unique
individual needs of an organisation, a thorough information gathering exercise should be
conducted. This will include;
Hardware, software and network systems analysis
Organisational objectives in relation to how they are affected by Medical
Technology structures
Existing Medical Technology plans and policies
Targeted Medical Technology achievements
User skills, requirements and capacities
Costs, other specifications and timeframes
The research methodologies will involve document analysis, interviews, and observation.
This phase comprises of developing a project plan, project charter and/or project scope in
writing, outlining in detail the work to be performed. During this phase, priority is given to
work and resource scheduling, establishing project structures, roles and lines of
communications. This shall entail:

service level agreement, as resources perform the scheduled work. During this phase, the
project manager may adjust schedules to keep the project deliverables on track subject to
prior approval from an authorised hospital official.
