Abstract: Biomedical field is an emerging sector in the healthcare industry of the Philippines. As mandated by the Health Department, hospitals are required to have biomedical management program to monitors, supervise and maintain medical equipment to ensure that health facilities are providing quality healthcare to the public. This study is conducted to determine the extent of biomedical policy awareness and implementation in terms of calibration, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, inventory management and documentation of Mt. Grace Resources Management Inc. biomedical technicians across partner hospitals of Mt. Grace Hospitals Inc. network. The study employed descriptive-correlational research design using a structured survey questionnaire as the main tool for data gathering with in-house MGRMI biomedical technician across MGHI network as respondents. It is found that in terms of calibration, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, inventory management and documentation, biomedical technicians are very much aware and that biomedical policy is very much implemented. Furthermore, biomedical policy awareness is significantly correlated to the policy implementation in terms of preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance and documentation. However, in terms of calibration and inventory management, biomedical policy awareness does not have a significant relationship to biomedical policy implementation. This means that the knowledge of biomedical technicians with the biomedical policy is fully translated into the daily practices and procedures of operations in terms of preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance and documentation but not in terms of calibration and inventory management. With the results of the study, the researcher developed a proposed standardized biomedical policy that can be adopted by MGRMI in order to improve productivity of the Biomedical Department.

Keywords: biomedical policy awareness, biomedical policy implementation, calibration, corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance.
