The HTM community has had some time to adjust to Alternative Equipment Management (AEM) and have started to create some great models.  I have had some AEM program details shared with me, and I wanted to share some of their best practices.  Below is a version of the AEM equipment selection process flow chart that I assisted Priya Upendra, Compliance Program Director at Banner Health, in creating.

As you create your own AEM model, having a well thought out selection process is a great first step.  The next step to consider is the risk assessment, and then the criteria for adoption.  I will be sharing particulars related to these in future posts.  Finding examples and specifics to an adopted AEM can be challenging.  ECRI Institute spotlight 2 implementations with their ECRI Institute's 13th Health Devices Achievement Award this year.  I highly recommend considering them as you develop your own.
