Synopsis:

The interconnectedness of technologies in the healthcare environment has changed the risk landscape for the safe selection and support of medical systems. This symposium will take a critical look at the impact of medical device integration (MDI) on the device assessment and acquisition processes, covering a wide range of topics from data security to software support costs. Attendees will learn about best-practice assessment & acquisition considerations to ensure successful deployment of medical systems and will also hear first-hand accounts of success (and failure) stories from the field.

The format of the symposium will be a series of themes that will be presented & discussed by a panel of speakers. Topics may include: privacy & security of patient data, training & competencies for biomed support, training & competencies for clinical staff, human factors, hospital infrastructure, clinical workflows, software support contracts, life-cycle costs, and more!

The Clinical Engineering & CCE Review Class* will provide an overview of the 2016 CCE examination topics, which is based on the Clinical Engineering Body of Knowledge (BOK) survey. This course is designed and presented by a group of four ACCE Faculty who are experienced certified clinical engineers, who are not associated with the Commission of the exam process.

Location: Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel, Florida Ballroom #1-4

Visit the IHE PCD at Interoperability Showcase

• Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE)'s Patient Care Devices domain (PCD) will demonstrate standards-based interoperable communications. The PCD is cosponsored by ACCE, AAMI and HIMSS
• Take advantage of the opportunity to speak with some of the PCD conforming vendors; learn about the many types of data using standards-based messages which are vendor independent that are now available. The PCD maintains a list of companies that have commercially available, conforming devices and systems
• Learn about specifying and purchasing available devices and systems that actually speak the same language to send physiologic, alarm, and device data
• Learn about work underway, such as the ability to bind/unbind the device to the patient and to the patient's medical record
• Ask about how you can help set the PCD's priorities and assure that the resulting technical documents reflect your real clinical and device related needs
• Discuss interoperable messages that directly support clinical engineering: device condition and status information-information sent to CMMS systems (e.g., self-test results, battery condition, availability) along with location
• Discuss the User Handbook as well as work in process to meet additional clinical and CE needs such as medical device Cybersecurity

You can find more information about the IHE at www.ihe.net and about the PCD at http://www.ihe.net/Patient_Care_Devices/. You can actively participate in defining interoperable solutions by contacting pcd@accenet.org
