How to Submit a New Work Item Proposal
Criteria
Authorization must be obtained from the Standards Board before
a new committee can be chartered or an existing AAMI committee can
undertake substantive new work.
The Standards Board has identified the following criteria as essential
to evaluating the need for establishing a new committee and/or initiating
new programs of work under the auspices of an existing committee:
- The standard, recommended practice, or other technical publication
has been determined to be high priority based on clinical/health
care needs.
- There is not a more appropriate technical organization willing
and able to do the work.
- The proposed work program has sufficient financial support,
through membership revenue, cost reimbursement, voluntary contributions,
government contracts/grants, or other sources of funding, and
following completion, through generation of revenue (for example,
document sales).
- The project contemplated is within the scope of the committee
or within AAMI's general scope of work and does not duplicate
work undertaken elsewhere.
- There are a substantial number of individual, institutional,
and corporate members of AAMI willing to participate in the proposed
new committee or program of work.
Submission
An Application for New Projects (see below)
should be completed and returned to the AAMI Vice President of Standards.
Proposals will be sent to the appropriate AAMI committee for review
and recommendation to the Standards Board, or if the proposed new
work is outside the scope of AAMI's current program and a new committee
would have to be established, the application will be submitted
directly to the Standards Board. The individual or committee submitting
the proposal for new work will be advised in writing of the Standards
Board decision.
For established committees, the Standards Board may choose to waive
formal written proposals for new work and rely on informal consultation
with staff and the committee leadership.
