2025 ACCE CE-IT Symposium (pre-HIMSS25): Convergence of Clinical Engineering and IT Technologies - Integrating Medical Devices into Hospital Networks
Medical devices continue to be integrated to various back-end applications to facilitate new technology, safety features, and even enable new clinical workflows. How do we best support this exciting technology development and manage the expanding integrated medical device environment? Join this ACCE CE-IT Symposium “Convergence of Clinical Engineering and IT Technologies - Integrating Medical Devices to Hospital Networks” to learn more! During this symposium, we will examine the challenges associated with managing medical device integrations and explore some of the new integration use cases. Our team of expert speakers will outline first-hand experience with the challenges posed by this integrated environment. The team will share insights and practical recommendations on how to best manage these integrated technologies. Topics covered will include updates on the latest regarding new medical device integration use cases, cybersecurity risks with integrated medical devices, and more. Discover how device integration is not only enabling new workflows but also enhancing patient care and patient safety. Engage in insightful panel discussions with industry thought leaders representing healthcare organizations, the medical device industry, and researchers.

ACCE Educational Webinar Series 2024-2025 Educational Webinar series, session#7: Right to Repair: Current status in the US and Canada
Right to Repair is an issue of increasing importance and urgency in the health technology management (HTM) community. In recent decades, a formerly harmonious relationship between most manufacturers and clinical engineering (CE) & HTM professionals has been strained by some manufacturers’ practice of restricting access to parts, tools, documentation and software. Frustration with the resulting equipment downtime and additional costs have caused many CEs and HTMs to join the call for medical device Right to Repair, which has been considered in dozens of states and at the federal level in the US and also in Canada. In this session, we’ll discuss the issues at the core of this debate—including concerns about patient safety, remanufacturing, cybersecurity and more—and share updates on the progress of medical Right to Repair legislation in both countries. Objectives: • Provide a comprehensive review of the Right to Repair movement in general (N Proctor) • Review the current efforts in the US for medical devices (B Wang) • Review the current efforts in Canada for medical devices (K Taylor) • Discuss how attendees can contribute to RtR

ACCE Educational Webinar Series 2024-2025 Educational Webinar series session#10: What does "clinical"mean to you in Clinical Engineering?
Today’s healthcare environment is composed of a diverse group of stakeholders. Clinical Engineering, being one of the key stakeholders, works very closely with clinical and medical staff, IT, Supply Chain, Infection Control and more. The two presenters will discuss how special these partnerships are, especially the one between Clinical Engineering and the end users when it comes to all aspects of medical equipment management. What to Expect: Partnerships: Learn from our expert presenters about the special collaboration between Clinical Engineering and end users, focusing on the practical aspects of medical equipment management. Essential Skills: Understand the key competencies required to support the continued success of these partnerships and its ongoing evolution. Real-World Applications: Dive into compelling case studies that showcase the cross pollination of "clinical" expertise into the healthcare technology. We are excited to present this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and contribute to the future success of our field.
