New Challenges for Medical Device Manufacturers and Hospitals
RISK MANAGEMENT FOR IT NETWORKS INCORPORATING MEDICAL DEVICES
Networked information technology in the healthcare sector is evolving rapidly. Worldwide, health care practitioners have an increased need to connect medical devices to IT networks, and have to ensure that each patient's right to data integrity and confidentiality and their safety is respected.
The current revision of international safety standards for medical electrical equipment (IEC 60601-1/A1) and the new standard on risk management for IT networks used for medical treatments (IEC 80001-1) together present a new collaboration challenge for hospitals, medical device manufacturers and information technology providers.
We'll address these challenges in a moderated panel discussion with experts in hospital IT strategy, medical equipment risk management, law, project management and consulting.
TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED:
Risk manage health IT solutions
Protecting the privacy and integrity of patients' records
Benefits of latest safety standards
