The Contractual Cure For Cybersecurity Pain: The Power of Medical Device Negotiations

The easiest way to reduce medical device cyber risk? Don’t add it. Many HDOs fail to clearly assign liability of risk during the device assessment stage of procurement.

MC2 represents a groundbreaking joint effort between MDMs, HDOs, and Group Purchasing Organizations to collaboratively ensure patient safety. The recommended language, already agreed upon by prestigious organizations in the industry, is intended to approximate a starting place.
