Abstract
Medical device interoperability has been identified as a key way of decreasing
healthcare costs while improving patient care [1]
. This has lead to a shift towards
placing more medical devices onto IT networks. However, placing medical devices
onto an IT network may lead to additional risks to safety, effectiveness and security of
the devices, the network and the data. IEC 80001-1 addresses the roles,
responsibilities and activities that need to be carried out when managing these risks.
In this article, we describe an exercise undertaken to assess the Medical IT Network
risk management practice implemented within a hospital to control risk associated
with a Clinical Information System. The level of compliance with the IEC 80001-1
standard was determined using an assessment framework developed by the Regulated
Software Research Centre (RSRC). The purpose of this exercise was, to test and
inform the development of an assessment method that is part of the assessment
framework for this standard, and also, to identify how the management of such an
existing Clinical Information System (CIS) project meets the requirements of IEC
80001-1.
