Health Technology Quality Assessment

Learn the foundations of healthcare privacy compliance and how to properly evaluate digital health solutions against the strict requirements of both HIPAA and GDPR.

Understand how to differentiate between general wellness apps and regulated Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) to accurately assess legal liability and regulatory risk prior to procurement.

Discover how to assess a vendor's cybersecurity controls, evaluate encryption standards, identify common API vulnerabilities, and conduct a comprehensive security review to protect patient data.

Assess healthcare interoperability standards such as HL7 and FHIR, evaluate integration risks, and ensure that new digital tools connect seamlessly with your existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems.

Develop the skills to critically evaluate clinical evidence, identify sources of research bias, and determine whether a vendor's clinical claims are genuinely supported by science.

Learn how to identify and evaluate algorithmic bias in healthcare AI to ensure clinical fairness and prevent unequal treatment across diverse patient populations.

Proactively identify and manage potential technology hazards using risk management tools like Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to keep patient safety at the center of innovation.

Define meaningful clinical, operational, and financial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to objectively measure a technology's real-world value and performance after implementation.

Master the process of mapping existing clinical workflows to identify bottlenecks and design future-state operations that integrate new technologies smoothly into daily routines.

Evaluate the usability of new technologies to minimize alert fatigue, reduce repetitive administrative tasks, and actively protect clinician well-being and productivity.

Learn how to calculate Return on Investment (ROI), evaluate total cost of ownership, and build compelling, evidence-based business cases for healthcare technology acquisitions.

Navigate the procurement lifecycle by evaluating vendor proposals, negotiating protective Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and designing effective pilot programs to minimize implementation risk.
