Many challenges exist in the management of non-hospital-owned medical equipment. This paper proposes implementing a novel kind of lean and computerized management method, including the management policy, procedures, agreement signing, equipment installation, acceptance and maintenance, and exit procedure. The result shows that the Lean and computerized management system can improve oversight and assure the safe integration of non-hospital-owned equipment to reduce liability exposure and increase compliance with regulations.
