The Role of Clinical Bioengineer in Romanian Hospitals

As medicine and technology have advanced over the millennia, healthcare technology has become more sophisticated and more complex, but its essential role of extending the ability of people to deliver healthcare remains. Over the past hundred years, healthcare has become increasingly reliant on medical technology with clinicians dependent on it for diagnosis and treatment. The appropriate deployment of technology contributes to the improvement in the quality of healthcare, the containment of cost, and to increased access to healthcare services. Within this paper, it was desired to make an overview of the role and situation of the bioengineer in Romania and of the degree of integration in the specialized structures within the management of medical technologies.
