Clinical Engineering Symposium presented by ACCE: "Wearables and IoT – The Emerging Healthcare Tecnology Support Challenges"


Date/Time: Saturday, June 17, 2023, 7:30 am - 10:15 am
Long Beach Convention Center, California
Refreshments sponsored by Masimo


Keynote: Telehealth Cybersecurity: Secure Remote Patient Monitoring
Speakers: Sue Wang, NCCoE & Ryan Williams, NCCoE

The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) published a practice guide discussing approaches in applying privacy and cybersecurity measures in safeguarding a telehealth remote patient monitoring (RPM) solution. The speakers will describe the RPM ecosystem and discuss where security and privacy challenges may exist based on a risk assessment, approaches needed to understand those risks and a means to mitigate risks in serving their remote patient community. Healthcare technology practitioners will learn about complexities associated with deploying RPM solutions and take away concepts that may apply to their own RPM deployments.


Wearables Panel Discussion
The use of wearables and IoT devices in healthcare organizations is rapidly expanding. This technology shift is providing interesting new opportunities, but also presents a number of practical technology management and support challenges. Healthcare facilities are increasingly faced with the use of patient owned wearables. Many clinicians are leveraging bring your own device (BYOD) policies and utilizing their own medical devices and IoT to deliver care. The home use of medical devices is also rapidly ramping up with the expansion of telehealth. Many of these wearables and IoT medical devices are also network connected, exchange patient data, and utilize various cloud services. How do we stay on top of managing these new clinical use cases and expanding fleets of wearable and IoT devices? What are the related roles and responsibilities of HTM departments? How do we ensure these systems are used safely and the associated security risks are controlled? Join this ACCE symposium to hear about the latest trends and best practices regarding the use, management, and support of wearables and IoT in healthcare. During this symposium we will discuss the common use cases for wearables and IoT in the healthcare setting and review the best practices in managing them. Learn the latest from the leading industry experts in panel discussions and hear education sessions from healthcare organizations about their successes and challenges in adopting wearables and IoT

​​HIMSS 2023 Conference

ACCE CE-IT Symposium: "Securing IoMT Proactively - Collaboration Between Information Technology and Clinical Engineering Professionals"


Date/Time: Monday, April 17, 2023 / 8:30am - 4:30pm
Location: Hyatt Regency McCormick Place
West Building / Level 1/ Grant Park D (CC12D)
2233 South Martin Luther King Dr, Chicago IL 60616

Description: Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices continue their rapid expansion in various healthcare settings. While this exciting technology evolution provides opportunities for new clinical workflows and patient care applications, it also introduces new technology management challenges and the potential for cybersecurity risks.

Clinical Engineering and IT play a central role in ensuring IoMT expansion is appropriately managed and that the related cybersecurity risks are identified, assessed, and controlled. This however is not an easy feat in practice. Proactively securing IoMT is a formidable challenge for any healthcare organization. A successful IoMT security program involves not only the right technologies, but the right personnel, expertise, and processes to ensure long term success.

Join this ACCE HIMSS CE/IT symposium to learn more about proactively securing IoMT, get tips on CE/IT collaboration, hear from industry thought leaders, and get involved with some hands-on learning through cybersecurity table top exercises.

AAMI 2014 Conference

Clinical Engineering Symposium presented by ACCE

Leveraging Big Data in Clinical Engineering-How to Influence Healthcare Decision-Making and Advance Professionally
For decades clinical engineers have deployed and supported medical devices, clinical information systems, and medical device management systems that can generate stores of data. This data is largely an untapped resource. However, it can be unleashed and harnessed to support real-time decision support, increase patient safety, and provide cost-effective service delivery. This year's symposium will explore the value proposition of big data in the clinical engineering field. It will review how clinical engineering leaders are applying analytics to develop business intelligence, present "use case scenarios" from hospitals around the country, and set a clear path for HTM and clinical engineering professionals to engage in big data analytics by identifying requirements, analytical tools, and educational opportunities.
