Abstract
Not so many books describe and model the effective budgeting and benchmarking of clinical engineering departments. The publications by Frize (Med Biol Eng Comput 28:153–9, 1990), (Med Biol Eng Comput 28:160–5, 1990) are insightful but they are now somewhat outdated. Therefore, an up-to-date systematic approach, based on real data is most useful. Benchmarking was described by Wang (J Clin Eng 33:24–37, 2008) in 2008 but now 10 years after, we obtain a clearer picture of how to perform this in current reality.
