Medical Device Open Source Frameworks
I believe it is key to recognize that providing access to information seamlessly ultimately enhances business cases.
Interoperability - Barriers to Adoption
Gulp. This makes the initial R&D costs seem like a bargain.
LiveData Advances Medical Device Interoperability
Great news in Healthcare IT News:
LiveData has been awarded a $70,000 Small Business Innovation grant in order to
develop a plug-and-play feature to implement standards for OR workflow
and medical device interoperability. The plug-and-play feature will enable devices to work together, to
create safety interlocks, and help ensure that clinicians make
decisions based upon all available information.
LiveData’s provides data […]
Day 2 Keynote: John Rushby on Accidental Systems
Self proclaimed the, “oldest guy with a computer science degree,” John Rushby with SRI International started the second day with a presentation on Accidental Systems. Using aviation as a model, Rushby discussed interactive complexity and system failures. Exploring the causes of accidents, Rushby noted, “that sufficiently complex systems can produce accidents without a simple cause.” […]
MD PnP Update
After the break, Julian Goldman provided a brief update on the MD PnP program.
First, Goldman presented ways integrated systems can support safety, using examples from non-healthcare applications. The classic example from Goldman’s stump speech is the automotive brake/automatic transmission interlock, an almost universal interoperable safety feature.
Safety Inter-locks
From aviation, the airplane landing gear smart alarm […]
AAMI 2007 - Day One, Clinical Engineering Symposium
First up today, the Clinical Engineering Symposium: Medical Device Integration Projects. A panel of rock stars will present case studies on medical device connectivity. Steve Grimes kicked things off to a full house - SRO, actually.
Case Studies from Beth Israel Deaconess
First up will be John Halamka, CIO at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. His […]
