Medical device incident investigation in the hospital is part of the culture of safety. When safety events occur in the hospital, a series of actions take place to ensure the patient and staff are safe, and the events are analyzed/investigated and reported accordingly. Reporting can be internal, within the hospital or external to the manufacturer and FDA, depending on the type and severity of the event. Medical device reporting helps improve patient safety and meet regulatory requirements. HTM professionals typically carry out the analysis and investigation, or in certain situations, an outside consultant is hired to assist. In this webinar, we will review the steps that take place when an incident occur in the hospital which involves medical devices or clinical technology. We will also provide an overview of healthcare incidents, types of events, Outline of an institutional policy to include important elements, device regulation, and culture of safety. Case studies will also be presented as part of the webinar.

American College of Clinical Engineering was formed to establish a standard of competence for Clinical Engineers, promote excellence in clinical engineering practice, and promote safe and effective application of science and technology in patient care. Today, safe and effective application of clinical systems requires integrity and availability of medical systems. In order to maintain services at a high level, business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) planning cannot be ignored. In this Symposium, we will have nationally and internationally recognized speakers and engineers who will address this shift in clinical engineering practice. We will cover topics such as BCDR best practices and regulation, as well as practical vetted processes for applying these principles in your organization. We will discuss alignment with supply chain as well as incident management and forensics for the worst-case scenario.

Everyday outside of our hospitals there is a fight taking place for public policy that can have devastating impacts on patient care. In this webinar two prominent lobbyists from CHIME will provide background to the process of bringing advocacy for topics such as Cybersecurity, Telemedicine and Interoperability, and provide information on how you can participate in advocating for greater visibility of issues in Healthcare.

Systems level troubleshooting moves beyond the device, from electronics to communication and even into human factors. Focusing on an individual device can create tunnel vision that isolates us from the true root cause of the problem. Moving beyond the Device we will take a step back and view systems as a whole.
