Why Clinical Assurance is the unsung hero of health tech

Imagine a world where a small error in health technology could lead to devastating consequences for patients. This isn’t a hypothetical scenario; it’s a potential reality that clinical assurance actively prevents.

Join us for an insightful online event that uncovers the vital, often-overlooked role of clinical assurance in safeguarding digital health solutions. While technical assurance ensures systems work, clinical assurance guarantees they are safe and effective for patient care.

In this session, we’ll explore:

• What clinical assurance truly means: Beyond technical functionality, it’s about minimising risks and unintended consequences for patient well-being.
• Why it matters more than ever: From protecting patients and reducing risks for healthcare providers to ensuring compliance with critical standards like DCB0129 and DCB0160, clinical assurance is foundational.
• The challenges and solutions: Discover the complexities of embedding clinical safety, from specialised knowledge and continuous learning to balancing speed with accuracy, and how partnerships are raising the bar.
• Real-world impact: We’ll highlight examples of clinical assurance in action, such as securely moving patient records online and ensuring safe data exchange via direct care APIs.
• Shared responsibility: Understand why clinical assurance isn’t just for developers or regulators, but a collective effort crucial for everyone involved in digital health and care.
• The future of patient safety: How clinical assurance will evolve to address new technologies like AI, machine learning, and telehealth.
