abstract = "Engineering has been playing an important role in serving and advancing healthcare. The term {"}Healthcare Engineering{"} has been used by professional societies, universities, scientific authors, and the healthcare industry for decades. However, the definition of {"}Healthcare Engineering{"} remains ambiguous. The purpose of this position paper is to present a definition of Healthcare Engineering as an academic discipline, an area of research, a field of specialty, and a profession. Healthcare Engineering is defined in terms of what it is, who performs it, where it is performed, and how it is performed, including its purpose, scope, topics, synergy, education/training, contributions, and prospects.",
