ECRI

ECRI weighed in on the FDA Home as a Healthcare Hub Initiative in today’s stakeholder listening session, drawing on decades of experience with accident investigations, medical device testing, and patient safety data analysis. The new FDA initiative re-imagines the home environment as an extension of the healthcare system, encouraging design elements that are adaptive to care delivery in the home, including medical devices and user interfaces. In the meeting, ECRI identified top safety concerns including: the complexity of medical devices, issues with recall processes, and the need for human factors design to account for training needs, tech literacy, varying levels of physical ability, and more.
