Comparison of methods of value engineering and multi-criteria evaluation ? applied to vital signs monitors
Original language description
Background: Utilization of QALYs in outcome assessment is irrelevant in some kinds of medical devices, such as vital signs monitors. Multi-criteria evaluation and value engineering seem to be reasonable alternatives in apparatus assessment. Objectives: Within this study, both methods of value engineering and those of multi-criteria decision making are compared. The study was focused on vital signs monitors purchase for a department of anesthesiology and resuscitation. Clinical and user´s data were takenfrom several units of anesthesiology and resuscitation. Technical data were supplied from a thorough market analysis. Methods: Out of value engineering methods, the pair-wise comparison method and Saaty´s method were studied. In the case of multi-criteria decision making, the TOPSIS method, the ideal point method, and the weighted sum method were analyzed. Individual variants were subsequently combined with each other. A statistical comparison of the resulting data and a sensitivity ana
