-0.177 indicating that this item did not contribute to quality but actually had a negative impact. As a result, the three scales in the MEC factor were removed from the study. They were Knowledge Limits (MEC1), “I have limited knowledge of all of the equipment functions available to me”; Excessive Options (MEC2), “There are excessive operations on equipment that increase the difficulty of use”; and Expert Knowledge Requirements (MEC3), “I require outside assistance to understand Additionally, operation and/or maintenance”.
the BMET can play in the environment of care through interdepartmental integration that optimizes their equipment knowledge. Conclusions The hospital level of quality in this model was strongly influenced by indicators of Clinical individual Engineering Compliance. regression Engineering Efficiency The analysis Effectiveness from and SEM found with Clinical Regulatory standardized that several contributions
reliability item analysis indicated that one factor in Regulatory Compliance, a factor in the main construct of Level of Quality, showed a relatively low Cronbach Alpha of 0.444 and a negative correlation. Hence, the variable of Regulatory Compliance —Competing Regulatory Application (RC3), was removed from further analysis. These findings infer that the increase in technology options available on medical equipment and the impact of competing regulation for different professions may, in fact, reduce quality. What had to be removed from the study also packs a lot of punch in terms of the negative impact of technology advances in medical equipment and h ?r6??WF??r&VwV?F???2??gW'F?W"??VFRF?R??7?F??WfV??bV?G????vWfW"?F?W6R?FV?2'&??rf?'F?F?Rf?V&?R&??RF?@??&VF?7F?'2g&????FW"?FW'F?V?F?'F?W'6??2?B76?6?FVB&?6W76W2&R7FF?7F?6??6?v??f?6?B??&V?F???F?F?R?WfV??bV?G?2?V7W&VB'?6???6?V?v??VW&??r7F?f?F?W2???7&V6??r??'GV??F?W2f?"F?&VR6????V?G2?b6???6?V?v??VW&??rVffV7F?fV?W72??7V?6?F?????FVw&F?????"?cb??B"???"&W?'F??r6F?6f7F?????"?#b??6???&RF??F?V&?RF?R??7B?bV?G?v???R2?FW'F?V?B6??G&?'WF???F??&v?F????&?V7F?fW2f?V?BF?BV6?FW'F?V?Bv??F?Bv2???VBF?'&?FW"?&v?F?????&?V7F?fW2?VBF???7&V6VB?6?F?fRF?V?B?WF6??W2B&F???b?&v???v??26?V?B&RW?V7FVBg&??6???6?V?v??VW&??rVff?6?V?7?( D???V?V?FVB6?7B76W76?V?B???#?B?F?B7VvvW7FVB6??6?7FV?B6?7BG&6???r?F??Vv?F??27W'fW?6??6?FW&VBf&?WG??b6?7B76W76?V?B?WF??G2?F?R?fW&??f??F??w0??
