AAMI and GCEA Forge Partnership to Elevate Healthcare Technology Management Worldwide

AAMI and the Global Clinical Engineering Alliance (GCEA) have partnered to raise the bar on best practices for healthcare technology management professionals, improve patient outcomes worldwide, and jointly develop and distribute content and programs for their members. With our shared mission in mind, we look forward to a collaboration in which AAMI’s tools and resources are available to an international audience and to the co-development of tools and resources that can support the field worldwide. AAMI & GCEA have partnered to share AMMI’s HTM Benchmarking Guide with the Global Clinical Engineering Community.

GCEA has generously translated the AAMI HTM Benchmarking Guide into eight languages: French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Russian, and Arabic, which is free to download.

The second edition of the “HTM Benchmarking Guide,” authored by four long-time AAMI members Ted Cohen of UC Davis Medical Center, Frank Painter of University of Connecticut, Matt Baretich of Baretich Engineering, and David Braeutigam of Braeutigam Enterprises, applies lessons learned from AAMI’s HTM Benchmarking Task Force. This includes a new emphasis on “the importance of appropriately allocating corporate-level HTM expenses to individual facilities within a multiple-facility system.
