Summary:Continued high and unnecessary costs of technology, the poor patient care, decisions made by people with little experience and waste of public resources devoted to health; they generate a need to develop a rational and systematic process for the incorporation of medical equipment. The aims of this work was the make a method begins with a collection of information through a literature review and implementation of a survey to diagnose the status of the processes of incorporation into different healthcare institutions and know what are the critical stages and the steps to be performed in each one of them. The method was implemented in a real case with the acquisition of two technologies, the linear accelerator and a steam sterilizer. The method was validated with two experts responsible for the acquisition of these equipments to determine its usability and importance in the process of incorporation of biomedical technology. Validation showed quantitative and positive results for both technologies because the experts were satisfied with each of the aspects evaluated and the final report provided by the method.
