Title: The Medical Device "Plug-and-Play" Interoperability Program: promoting system solutions at the sharp edge of healthcare delivery
Presentation: PDF, 2.6MB
Abstract
It has become clear that many improvements in patient safety, patient care, and healthcare efficiency require systems solutions at the "sharp end of healthcare" which cannot be implemented due to the lack of interoperability of medical devices and systems, especially in high-acuity clinical settings. Cross-vendor standards-based interoperability is required to allow healthcare institutions to leverage medical devices and IT systems to provide an infrastructure for innovation to deliver error-resistant systems. A fully connected - or integrated - clinical environment is required to deliver safety interlocks, smart alarms, and close the loop on workflow. Our program on Medical Device "Plug-and-Play" Interoperability (www.mdpnp.org <http://www.mdpnp.org> ) has been working to accelerate the adoption of interoperability by eliciting clinical requirements to guide solutions; developing an "umbrella" standard to define the architecture, capabilities, and requirements for the Integrated Clinical Environment (ICE); providing a vendor-neutral lab testing environment; and convening meetings with researchers, manufacturers, and federal agencies to align resources and outcomes.
Bio
Julian M. Goldman, MD is Director of the Program on Interoperability at CIMIT (Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology), a principal anesthesiologist in the Massachusetts General Hospital "Operating Room of the Future", a Physician Advisor to Partners HealthCare Biomedical Engineering at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and director of the Medical Device "Plug-and-Play" (MD PnP) Interoperability Program.
Dr. Goldman founded the MD PnP Program at the Massachusetts General Hospital in 2004 to enable innovation in patient safety and clinical care by leading the adoption of "plug-and-play" patient-centric medical device integration solutions. The MD PnP program team were the recipients of the 2007 CIMIT Edward M Kennedy award for Healthcare Innovation.
Dr. Goldman received his Medical Doctorate from S.U.N.Y. Downstate Medical Center in New York and performed anesthesiology residency and research fellowship training at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver. Dr. Goldman practiced anesthesia in private practice prior to joining the teaching faculty at the University of Colorado in 1990. His research fellowship concentrated on artificial intelligence applications for medical monitoring, and anesthesia simulation. Dr. Goldman departed the University of Colorado as a Tenured Associate Professor in 1998 to work as Vice President of Medical Affairs of a medical monitoring company. He joined Harvard Medical School and the Departments of Anesthesia and Biomedical Engineering at the Massachusetts General Hospital in 2002.
Dr. Goldman recently served as Visiting Scholar in the FDA Medical Device Fellowship Program, chairs the Use Case Working Group of the Continua Health Alliance, leads several ASTM, ISO, and IEC medical device standardization activities, and is a founding member and Past-President of the Society for Technology in Anesthesia.
