ECRI Institute will be presenting and exhibiting at the AAMI 2011 Conference and Expo in San Antonio from June 25 to 27.

New this year and being highlighted at the ECRI Institute booth are topic-specific online resource centers that will help healthcare organizations get information on various medical technology issues, including product recalls and FDA actions.

Also featured will be a new self-assessment tool to help hospitals measure their risks against ECRI Institute’s 4th annual list of Top 10 Health Technology Hazards—technology hazards that warrant the greatest attention in 2011, along with recommendations for alleviating risks, according to the Plymouth Meeting, Pa.-based nonprofit healthcare organization.
