AAMI Podcast 25: Changing Requirements for Quality Management Systems

May 5, 2018 By Terry Baker

Recognized by many jurisdictions around the world, the standard ANSI/AAMI/ISO 13485:2016, Medical Devices; Quality management systems; Requirements for regulatory purposes, provides structured guidance to help organizations meet regulatory requirements.

In this episode, international quality and regulatory compliance consultant Eamonn Hoxey describes the major differences between the 2003 and 2016 editions of 13485. As we near the end of a three-year transition period for medical device developers and manufacturers to comply with requirements set forth in the 2016 edition of the standard, Hoxey discusses how the new updated version clarifies expectations for manufacturers, providing a much more global, comprehensive, and harmonized approach to meeting requirements.

AAMI 24: Developing an AEM Program

January 20, 2018 By Terry Baker

What’s the optimal way to perform medical device maintenance? Although implementing an AEM program can save healthcare facilities time and money, the concept has caused confusion for many in the healthcare technology management community. To start, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services defines AEM as “alternate equipment management,” whereas The Joint Commission uses “alternative equipment maintenance.” Through the recent publication, AEM Program Guide: Alternative PM for Patient Safety, author Matthew Baretich seeks to cut through the confusion by offering practical, real-world guidance for implementing a well-crafted AEM program and remaining compliant with applicable standards and regulations.

AAMI Episode 22: Patch Management in Healthcare

July 2, 2017 By Terry Baker

With cybersecurity attacks on the rise in healthcare and a growing appreciation for the threats posed to patients, patch management is more important than ever—yet it remains a challenge for most hospitals.  Why? “I don’t think there’s any other industry that has such a diversity of different devices from different manufacturers run in an environment where the pieces are so dependent on each other. That makes it difficult to, for example, take one device down, patch it and reboot it without affecting other devices,” said Axel Wirth a distinguished technical architect for Symantec Corporation and a member of the BI&T Editorial Board. A cybersecurity expert, Wirth share his tips for patch management and his “defense in depth” framework that he believes all healthcare facilities should adopt. This podcast is sponsored by Nuvolo.

HTT 59- Clinical Alarm Management

February 11, 2017 By Terry Baker

We have been on a bit of a hiatus here at Healthcare Tech Talk, but we are back in the editing room and ready to begin publishing new episodes.

Today though we present to you an important episode of the AAMI Podcast. If you enjoy it please subscribe to the show.

Hospitals are under pressure to draft and implement comprehensive policies that show they have a handle on the crucial patient safety issue of alarm fatigue. There’s been an explosion in the number of medical devices with alarms and alerts, resulting in a noisy healthcare setting and desensitizing clinicians to the meaning or importance of alarms. With more alarms going off, the intended goal of alerting clinicians to true emergencies has been diminished, and patient safety has been imperiled. Ronald Wyatt, MD, the patient safety officer and medical director at The Joint Commission and Maria Cvach, DNP, CCRN, director of policy management and integration for the Johns Hopkins Health System in Baltimore, MD,  talk about what hospitals should be doing—and how they can make a positive difference with effective clinical alarm management.
