As healthcare technology management (HTM) professionals, we should have a good understanding and knowledge of the different codes, standards and regulations that pertain to the use of medical equipment in the hospital. There are many organizations, including various state and federal agencies, which promulgate voluntary and mandatory standards for the health care field, in general, resulting in many thousands of standards, clinical practice guidelines, laws and regulations. These organizations also promulgate a variety of requirements for different types of equipment (e.g., imaging, nuclear, anesthesia, and respiratory), electrical safety, fire safety, power distribution, medical-gas systems, clinical laboratories and blood banks. This session will provide an overview of the codes, standards and regulations pertaining to HTM.
