Webcast | A First Look at ECRI's Top 10 Health Technology Hazards for 2023

ECRI’s annual list of Top 10 Health Technology Hazards identifies the health technology concerns that warrant the greatest attention by healthcare leaders. Now in its 16th year, the list is based on ECRI’s review of incident investigations, independent medical device testing and reporting databases. We invite you to join us for an exclusive, members-only event as we unveil our topics for 2023 and give you the opportunity to discuss the issues that concern you the most.

Learning Objectives

During this lab webcast, we'll discuss:

1. The value of the list for clinicians
2. The topic selection process
3. A brief "first look" at each 2023 topic, with the lead researcher describing the issue and reasons for its inclusion

Be sure to participate in our poll at the close of the discussion and let us know which topics impact you most. Your input will help us determine the final ranking for 2023.
