Survey looks at risk analysis for health tech
A new survey aims to reveal baseline information about how healthcare facilities handle risk management for technology.
The survey, developed by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Medical Devices & Patient Safety Task Force and the Clinical Engineering and Information Technology (CE-IT) Community, focuses on the lifecycle of the technology, from acquisition to deployment, use, modification and retirement.
The information will enable the task force and the CE-IT Community to develop a Risk Analysis Resource Guide and help to:

The information will enable the task force and the CE-IT Community to develop a Risk Analysis Resource Guide and help to:
- Determine the nature of the risk management process for organizations that report they have a process.
- Determine the need for industry guidelines to assist all healthcare facilities in the prudent application of risk management to the technology life cycle.
