Abstract

The aim of this article is to select the most suitable combination of maintenance policies in the different subsystems that make up an operating theatre. To do so a multicriteria model will be developed using the Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique (MACBETH) technique considering multiple decision centres: The Hospital's technical services, environment and occupational risk prevention managers, healthcare managers (operating theatres and health activity programming), healthcare staff, technicians, purchasing service managers and Hospital executives. The model uses functional, safety and technical-economical criteria, amongst which is availability. Mean availability for repairable systems has been measured to assess this criterion, using Markov chains from the data obtained over three years from the subsystems of a Hospital operating theatre. All this is aimed at increasing the operating theatre's availability and, consequently, increasing physical safety in patient operations and reducing the number of delayed operations due to technical malfunctions.
