A Comparative Study on Biomedical Equipment Inventory Management Practices in Delhi Government Hospitals and Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, Delhi

Abstract

The present study examines biomedical equipment inventory management practices in Delhi Government Hospitals and the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS), Delhi, addressing a critical research gap in the Indian public healthcare context. Using an empirical research design, primary data were collected through structured questionnaires and interviews from 600 employees across selected institutions, supported by secondary data from records and reports. The study compares inventory control, maintenance, utilization, challenges, and technology adoption using statistical tools such as t-test, ANOVA, and correlation analysis. The expected findings aim to assess impacts on patient care and propose a practical framework and policy recommendations for improving biomedical equipment inventory management in government hospitals.
