Physician's Exec Forum: HIT Legislation and Risk Mitigation: Are They Changing Clinical Practices?

Health information technologies are intended to improve care but can cause unintended harm, such as poorly configured clinical decision support tools that use incorrect data to make a recommendation to start a specific treatment. The risk is potentially heightened with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. In this panel, we will explore how government, vendors, and healthcare providers evaluate and respond to this risk. We will discuss major regulations concerning Software as a Medical Device, current practices for documentation and decision-making, and how organizations have chosen who in their organization is responsible for understanding the interplay among the medical, technical, ethical, and legal domains.

This session is part of the AMDIS/HIMSS Physicians' Executive Forum agenda and requires separate registration
