Discussion
Monroe provided a concise introduction to the IHE, PCD, their processes, and the goals of the Device Management Communication (DMC) and Location Services (LS) Working Groups (WGs).
The potential value of interoperable messages with clinical engineering and vendor representatives were discussed at AAMI. Those responsible for clinical devices and systems readily embraced the benefits of data delivered to CMMSs - device condition (e.g., batteries, self-test results, PM notification based upon hours or cycles used), technical alerts (e.g., failure notification), versions; and of course location where the combination of condition and location provides increased patient safety, more accurate information about utilization and other benefits. Increased productivity, effectiveness, communication with clinicians and other benefits are apparent.
CMMS and RTLS vendors see the benefits of standard interfaces just as the clinical system vendors have done: a single way to unambiguously communicate data and avoid the expense and difficulty of vendor and model-specific interfaces.
