The aging CT scanner between doses, breakdowns and lists that cannot wait

La TAC anziana tra dosi, guasti e liste che non aspettano · Healthcare · Advanced

The case

You are the technical coordinator of a radiology unit. The main CT scanner is thirteen years old: it works, but breakdowns went from two to seven a year (with lists rebooked every time), scan times are double those of modern machines, and the doses delivered, though within legal limits, are significantly higher than a recent scanner's for the same exam: the technicians know it and some are raising the issue, especially for young patients and repeated follow-ups. Replacement has been postponed twice for budget reasons: 800,000€ that management keeps shifting to next year. Meanwhile the machine runs at 105% capacity. How do you build the case for replacement, and how do you manage the wait?

Sei il coordinatore tecnico di una radiologia. La TAC principale ha tredici anni: funziona, ma i guasti sono passati da due a sette l'anno (con liste riprenotate ogni volta), i tempi di scansione sono il doppio delle macchine moderne, e le dosi erogate, pur nei limiti di legge, sono sensibilmente superiori a quelle di un apparecchio recente a parità di esame: i tecnici lo sanno e qualcuno inizia a porre il tema anche per i pazienti giovani e i controlli ripetuti. La sostituzione è stata rinviata due volte per budget: 800.000€ che la direzione continua a spostare all'anno prossimo. Intanto la macchina lavora al 105% della capacità. Come costruisci il caso per la sostituzione e come gestisci l'attesa?
