Healthcare delivery organizations (HDO) face significant technical and operational challenges when managing the secure deployment of networked medical devices. Within HDOs, medical device security is not the responsibility of any one group. It's not uncommon for the security of medical devices in a HDO to fall under a mix of operational functions (e.g., hospital information technology [IT], clinical engineering, biomedical engineering teams). HDOs focus on the absolute availability of medical devices for patient care. Often, they are short on IT resources and security staff in particular. Increasing communication requirements between HDO systems, such as EMRs and medical devices (including emerging "bedside to EMR" data flows) drives a need for stringent security measures to protect patient data and ensure effective continuity of care. There is a need for medical device manufacturers to incorporate industry best practices to develop robust medical devices that can be safely scanned for vulnerabilities and seamlessly integrate into standard IT security tools and reporting processes.
