This MQP project investigates the medical device reporting system at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital. Through research, interviews, and observations completed through shadowing the engineering department, the necessary information was acquired to create a new system tending to the clients’ needs. It was found that the main issues with the system are poor communication between the head nurses and the clinical engineering department, and inefficiency, which takes time away from the clinical engineering department’s main focus and responsibility of repairing equipment. The proposed design is a web application that decreases the time between the device being reported and picked up for repair and allows engineers to update nurses on progress.
