Introduction: Medical equipment replacement as one of the major principles of medical equipment management plays a sensitive and vital role in monitoring medical equipment in diagnosis, treatment and monitoring patients. In medical equipment replacement, we are aimed at adopting a policy in which, instead of using the equipment for a long time and with a higher maintenance cost, a suitable program for replacement the equipment is determined. The present study aims to present a decision-making system to facilitate the medical equipment replacement planning. Methods: The present study attempts to provide a solution to the medical equipment replacement program for the first time by providing a SWOT-ANP-WASPAS hybrid approach. In the proposed framework of the research, the SWOT matrix has been used to identify criteria, sub-criteria and strategic alternatives. Subsequently, ANP technique is used to weigh the criteria and sub-criteria. Strategic alternatives have been also weighted using the WASPAS method. Results: The proposed decision-making system attempts to increase the self-confidence of the decision makers and present sufficient supporting evidence in order to provide strategies for medical equipment replacement. This system allows the decision makers to understand the complex communications regarding decision-making better, which will increase the reliability of the corresponding decisions. Conclusion: The proposed hybrid approach can be integrated as a comprehensive decision-making system for medical equipment replacement in health centers and if the implementation of the formulated strategies and the sequence of their implementation is supported by managers, the costs of replacement will decrease and medical equipment technology will develop

Introduction: The lack of a proper structure in the management of medical equipment can cause a waste of health resources. This article was written due to the importance of medical equipment in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of patients with the aim of investigating the challenges of the medical equipment management structure in Iran.Methods: The current research is a review study that was conducted through searching in reliable scientific sources such as Springer, Elsevier Pubmed, Google scholar and other Persian information sources such as Magiran, SID, Irandoc. Keywords such as Medical Equipment Management, Concentration, Formality and Complexity were used to search Persian & English sources.Results: The structure of medical equipment management can improve the performance of a hospital and in another sense can be the basis for the evaluation of hospital units. The performance of medical equipment in the hospital is very vital to the main mission of the hospital due to guaranteeing the patient's safety, and the weakness in the performance of this department and the lack of attention to the vital components in this department can make the hospitals face failure or ineffective performance.Conclusion: The design of the model of the management structure of government medical equipment is needed to improve the structure of the mentioned area and the optimal management of medical equipment.

از آن‌جا که هیچ سازمانی نمی‌تواند منابع نامحدود داشته باشد، استراتژیست‌ها باید در این مورد که کدام یک از استراتژی‌های مختلف می‌توانند بیشترین منفعت را به سازمان برسانند، تصمیم‌گیری نمایند. تصمیماتی که در زمینه‌ی تدوین استراتژیی‌ها گرفته می‌شود سازمان را متعهد می‌سازد که برای یک دوره نسبتاً بلندمدت محصولاتی خاص تولید کند، در بازارهای مشخصی به فعالیت بپردازد و سرانجام از منابع و فناوری‌های شناخته شده‌ای استفاده نماید. استراتژی‌ها مزایای رقابتی سازمان را در دوره‌های بلندمدت تعیین می‌نمایند. چه خوب چه بد، تصمیمات استراتژیک نتایج چندوجهی وآثار دیرپا بر سازمان می‌گذارند. لذا نیاز است تا با اتخاذ استراتژی هایی بهینه، سازمان در مسیر مطلوب قرار گرفته و از اعمال خسارت های جبران ناپذیر جلوگیری گردد. به منظور برنامه ریزی چنین تدارکاتی، نیاز است تا مدلی بهینه جهت تدوین استراتژی بکار گرفته شود تا استراتژیست های سازمانی به راحتی و با دقت زیاد بتوانند به تدوین استراتژی برای سازمان خود مبادرت ورزند. این پژوهش در تلاش است تا با ارائه ی رویکرد ترکیبی پیشنهادی خود، مسیر تدوین استراتژی برای سازمان ها را هموار سازد.
