Abstract

This study analyzes the growth of hospital medical equipment maintenance costs and cost control strategies under the multi-campus model. Through the analysis of equipment maintenance data from 2019-2024, the key to the growth of maintenance costs is identified, and targeted programs such as technical training, maintenance optimization, and collaborative management of multi-campus districts are adopted. The results of the study show that after the implementation of targeted measures, the proportion of maintenance costs to the total value of equipment assets in 2022-2024 decreased by 47% compared with the previous three years, and the cost of circuit board maintenance decreased by 27%, proving that targeted strategies after an in-depth analysis of maintenance costs are able to effectively reduce the cost of medical equipment maintenance.
