Abstract:
High-tech medical solutions need careful implementation to ensure optimum reliability and good patient care. Figures from the Medical Devices Agency show that a patient may be three to 10 times more at risk from user error than from faulty equipment. Informed equipment selection and user training is paying dividends in one trust.
