MedTech Dive tapped two ECRI subject matter experts for this article on AI trends to watch: Scott Lucas, ECRI’s vice president of device safety, and Francisco Rodríguez Campos M.Sc. Ph.D., MRSO (MRSC™), an ECRI principal project officer. AI tools that may only be used for administrative purposes, hospitals should still treat with the same scrutiny as other AI devices… “At the end of the day, the software, while it may not be doing diagnosis directly, is a big part of what a physician would use to come out with a diagnosis,” Rodríguez Campos said. “They are having an influence in the delivery of health.” Scott Lucas raised concerns about a confluence of factors in AI: The hype, the promise and the rapid evolution of AI tools, and an environment where there are “far too many preventable incidents” in healthcare. Whether hospitals have AI solutions, or can monitor and govern them, can “range quite a bit depending on the resources of the facility,” Lucas said. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gJAcdTe6

These compromised products can end up in care settings, putting patients and staff at risk if they fail to function properly.

From scheduling and billing to EHRs and radiology systems, many critical tools are provided by outside vendors. While this arrangement offers many benefits, it also introduces risks—cybersecurity incidents affecting third-party vendors can disrupt access to essential systems, delay care, and put patients at risk.

As highlighted in last year's Top 10 hazards, improper device use by untrained users can lead to delayed or inaccurate care, potentially causing severe harm. With the growth of home healthcare, it's crucial to focus on proper setup and management of devices—especially those intended for clinical settings.   Download the Executive Brief now: https://hubs.la/Q02-qCKs0 #top10 #safetyconcerns #safety #HomeHealthcare #PatientSafety #MedTech #HealthTech
