-'''Medical Equipment & Technology Association'''<br>
+'''Ohio Clinical Engineering Association'''<br>
-Medical Equipment & Technology Association (META) is an organization for professionals that service and support equipment in the healthcare industry. META has the mission of being the focal point for resources, networking, and activities that will promote growth and unity for all in this profession. Check out the newest HTM educational journal [http://www.mymeta.org/ The META Scholar]!
+Ohio Clinical Engineering Association (OCEA) started in 1974 as a group of hospital engineers who were a part of a joint Safety Committee group of the Greater Cleveland Hospital Association. These engineers had a disagreement with the City of Cleveland over testing laboratory requirements for Medical Equipment that was in use in the city. After this disagreement was resolved, these engineers continued to meet on a regular basis and the organization Clinical Engineering Technology Association CETA was formed.

 '''Warriors of the Net'''<br>
-Did you ever wonder how the Internet works? How does a router look like? What color does a IP packet have? How does a IP packet travel through firewall. All the answers and many more can be found in the Warriors of the net move. It is available in many different languages. It is the prefect tool for introducing Internet to novice users. It helps the newcomers visualize how the Net works.
+A resistor ((Ω) symbol)) is an electronic component that resists, restricts, or opposes the flow of current.It can be visualized as constriction or narrowing in a pipe, where the constricted area is the resistance (resistor), and the flow of water is current. The volume of water flow following a constriction in a water pipe is reduced.

+'''WiFi'''<br>
-A Stress Testing System consists of a portable ECG unit, a Treadmill, and a Computerized Workstation with Monitor that allows cardiologists to monitor patients with heart problems during physical stress caused by exercise.
+Wi-Fi (pronounced /ˈwaɪfaɪ/) is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance for certified products based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. This certification warrants interoperability between different wireless devices.  In some countries (and in this article) the term Wi-Fi is often used by the public as a synonym for IEEE 802.11-wireless LAN (WLAN).

 == Work Order Management ==
-Work order management involves systematic, measurable, and traceable methods to all acceptance/initial inspections, preventive maintenance, and calibrations, or repairs by generating scheduled and unscheduled work orders. Work order management may be paper-based or computer-base and includes the maintenance of active (open or uncompleted) and completed work orders which provide a comprehensive maintenance history of all medical equipment devices used in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients. Work order management includes all safety, preventive, calibration, test, and repair services performed on all such medical devices. A comprehensive work order management system can also be used as a resource and workload management tool by managers responsible for personnel time, total number of hour’s technician spent working on equipment, maximum repair dollar for one time repair, or total dollar allowed to spend repairing equipment versus replacement.

 Post-work order quality checks involve one of two methods: 100% audit of all work orders or statistical sampling of randomly-selected work orders. Randomly-selected work orders should place more stringent statistical controls based on the clinical criticality of the device involved. For example, 100% of items critical to patient treatment but only 50% of ancillary items may be selected for sampling. In an ideal setting, all work orders are checked, but available resources may dictate a less comprehensive approach. Work orders must be tracked regularly and all discrepancies must be corrected.
 == Data Quality Management ==
 Accurate, comprehensive data is needed in any automated medical equipment management system. Data quality initiatives can help to insure the accuracy of clinical/biomedical engineering data. The data needed to establish basic, accurate, maintainable automated records for medical equipment management includes: nomenclature, manufacturer, nameplate model, serial number, acquisition cost, condition code, and maintenance assessment. Other useful data could include: warranty, location, other contractor agencies, scheduled maintenance due dates, and intervals. These fields are vital to ensure appropriate maintenance is performed, equipment is accounted for, and devices are safe for use in patient care.
