摘要Despite the growing needs from hospitals for activities such as risk control, cost
management, quality control and digital communication, most clinical engineers are not aware or
do not risk to be responsible for these tasks. Unfortunately, the majority of CEs do not defy the
comfortable state but keep claiming the lack of support from administration. Up to now, the Body of
Practices as well as the Body of Knowledge for Clinical Engineering is not a world consensus. Hence,
Clinical Engineering Societies must start to discuss how to change this situation; how to improve
the interaction not only among clinical engineers but with the health staff and discuss how to help
clinical engineers to present themselves as problem solvers regarding medical equipment technologies.
Ultimately, the Clinical Engineering Societies must start a regional movement to define what
is the Clinical Engineering model that best suits the need of the health system and communicate the
academy about their findings. Here it is discussed some initiatives to be adopted by regional clinical
engineering societies to promote the profession.
