Date/Time: Monday, March 11, 2024, 8:30 AM – 4:25 PM


AI technologies continue to disrupt healthcare in various domains. How to best leverage these new AI tools and how to stay ahead of the curve with their rapid expansion? Join this ACCE CE-IT Symposium” Implementing Emerging AI Tools and Medical Device Technologies in Healthcare” to learn more!   

During this symposium, we will explore the practical challenges associated with implementing emerging AI technologies in the healthcare sector. Our distinguished team of expert speakers will delve into a diverse array of AI applications and discuss about the impacted technologies. Topics covered will include governance and data protection, radiology modalities, regulatory impacts, and implementation challenges, among others.

Uncover how AI is not only enhancing patient care but also impacting some of the very foundations of healthcare operations. Our expert speakers will share their early adopter insights, unveiling the strategies that led to their success, and providing invaluable tips on avoiding common pitfalls.

Beyond the technical aspects, we'll also examine AI from a strategic standpoint. How can you develop an AI strategy tailored to your organization's unique needs? How to develop a partnership of Clinical Engineering, IT and Clinical teams in implementing AI Technologies? Is an AI Council necessary to govern these applications effectively? How can you ensure that these technologies and tools yield the maximum value for your organization? Engage in insightful panel discussions with industry leaders representing healthcare organizations, the medical device industry, and researchers. 

Don't miss this opportunity to stay at the forefront of healthcare's AI revolution!

​​​AAMI Exchange 2023

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.
