Information and/or medical technology staff experience with regulations for medical information systems and medical devices

Although IT/MT staff felt that they had knowledge of regulations for medical devices and medical information systems, they reported that maintaining and increasing this knowledge is important and that there is a need for recurring training programs in IT and MT regulations. Improved knowledge in IT and MT regulation, and a better understanding of clinical healthcare, could lead to an increased quality in the daily operations and support to the healthcare professionals. Healthcare professionals may need education to develop their knowledge of IT or MT regulations, which in turn will ensure higher patient safety.
