Hi Mark,
There is always a certain basis of projection like projected norms for each location by the patient type or ward discipline, etc. That gives us the total quantity of pumps needed for the entire hospital. This has to be worked out with the relevant wards or departments before a final figure can be derived. Biomed equipment history record for pump failures can be used to cater for equipment failure prediction and this relates to what you have mentioned as to how many pumps will be needed to keep up with the demand. With equipment library, utilization is an important factor as you also need to think of periodical manintenance. It is probably a projection that will take away many hours of thinking. I believe there is a need to put up a justification paper for this purpose. Pls share with us when things become clearer.
BTW what are the equipment types that will be in the library in future ....vents, feeding pumps, etc?
