Ov​erview​​​

In ​​a health​care merger, integrating the component entities is a complex task​. Not only must the organizational processes be integrated, but the medical devices and systems within those processes must often themselves be integrated. Clinical engineers play a central role in ensuring success.

During our November 16, 2022, lab webcast, presenters discussed the importance of engineering staff during a merger, addressing cybersecurity needs, and avoiding common mistakes. ​
