Evaluation of medical safety and appropriate device management

Committee:
Medical Equipment
status:
No progress
Published:
Quality control of diagnostic imaging displays and surgical smoke countermeasures were not adopted as individual evaluation items. Add-on fee schemes for radiation exposure management, long-term clinical use of specially controlled maintenance medical devices, and cybersecurity measures did not reach the stage of recommendation to the Central Social Insurance Medical Council (Chuikyo) this time.

Recommendations

  • Assess the actual situation and challenges in clinical settings regarding exposure management, device maintenance and replacement, and cybersecurity, and translate them into concrete policy proposals.
  • Create an environment that enables medical institutions to sustain their efforts, taking into account the ongoing costs and implementation structures required for safety measures.
