Mastering HTM Accreditation Compliance: Stress Less, Achieve More

Upcoming Virtual Events

Overview

This comprehensive training is specifically designed for HTM leaders, equipping them with the knowledge and strategies needed to achieve regulatory compliance in healthcare technology management (HTM). It covers relevant regulatory agencies, their expectations, and effective strategies for meeting or exceeding compliance standards. By implementing proven strategies, HTM leaders can drive continuous survey readiness, reduce stress levels, and minimize unnecessary work for themselves and their teams.

A significant focus of the training is on alternate equipment management (AEM), a critical aspect of HTM. Participants will gain insights into the specific AEM criteria that regulatory agencies evaluate and receive practical guidance on implementing and documenting AEM effectively. This knowledge empowers HTM leaders to manage alternate equipment, minimize disruptions, and ensure readiness in case of equipment failures or emergencies.

The training aims to empower HTM leaders with the tools and insights necessary to succeed in regulatory compliance. By participating, HTM leaders will gain a thorough understanding of regulatory agencies, their expectations, and effective strategies for achieving and surpassing compliance standards. They will also gain valuable insights into AEM, enabling them to effectively manage alternate equipment and maintain a state of readiness.

The goal of this training is to support HTM leaders in navigating the complexities of regulatory compliance successfully, ultimately enhancing their role in ensuring the safety and reliability of healthcare technology systems.

Objectives

Over the course of four (4) hours, the learner will be able to:

  • Understand the regulatory compliance landscape in healthcare settings, including the roles of relevant regulatory agencies and their expectations.
  • Analyze and implement effective strategies to drive continuous survey readiness, reducing stress levels and unnecessary work for themselves and their staff.
