Medical Device Plug-and-Play Interoperability Standards & Technology Leadership

Abstract

This BAA is providing core program support to develop key capabilities of the Medical Device Plug-and-Play (MD PnP) Interoperability Program to lead medical device interoperability to support clinical solutions for improving patient safety and healthcare efficiency. Under MD PnP program leadership during the past year, progress was made on interoperability-related standards, including gap analyses; a multi-institutional/industry working group defined safety components of a prototype regulatory submission of an integrated medical device system and handed off its work products to the FDA; an updated version of the MD FIRE contracting language is being reviewed by the VA and other federal agencies; our mobile PCA safety demonstration was reconfigured with smaller, more adaptable components; notable progress was made in collaborations with the VA, NIST, and other federal agencies, leading to joint projects and initiatives.
