Healthcare Technology Management (HTM) Week, May 14–20, 2023, promotes awareness of—and appreciation for—the critical work of professionals who manage and maintain the vast assortment of health technology found in healthcare delivery organizations.
2023 HTM Week Social Media Challenge
Let’s face it we have all experienced medical equipment showing up at our shops with the dreaded “Broken” sticky note. What the best sticky note you have ever received? Share it on social media using hashtags #BIOMEDNOTES #IamHTM and #HTMWeek or email a photo to us at htm@aami.org. We will share all your hilarious and useless sticky notes all week long on AAMI’s social media channels. Everyone who submits a photo will be entered a win pizza for their HTM department! Entries must be received by May 17th, 2023.
Six-part HTMLive Spotlight Series: Cybersecurity
In an AAMI exclusive 6 part series, brought to you by Medigate by Claroty, experts will explain the unique variations that HHS has recommended for traditionally IT-centric security practices in order to address medical device cybersecurity challenges. The first two sessions of this series will take place during HTM Week! Thanks to Medigate by Claroty for sponsoring these sessions.

Operationalizing Asset Management
& Procurement Cybersecurity
May 16 | 2-3PM ET
In January of 2023, Health and Human Services (HHS) made a significant update to their Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices (HICP) for Medical Device Security. Device Identification & Management are first! The axiom goes “You can’t protect what you can’t see.” With an increasing explosion of cyber-physical connections in healthcare, Clinical Engineering and HTM are poised to capitalize on opportunities for education, growth and advancement.
ServiceNow and Medigate by Claroty have created an advanced integration and new workflow model for medical device asset management. In an AAMI exclusive 6 part series, we explain the unique variations that HHS has recommended for traditionally IT
centric security practices in order to address medical device security challenges. Join us and learn why Asset Management is the first step on a cyber and operational resilience journey for medical device security:
- Learn the importance of device identification, accuracy, detail and CMMS reconciliation?
- Which downstream security process successes are predicated on accurate device identification details and why?
- What workflows can be operationalized to reduce my workload, save time and increase cyber resilience?
- What use cases can decrease expenses, increase Gross Patient Revenue (GPR) and reduce maintenance contract costs with these HHS Best Practices?
- How can Asset Management automate the Omnibus Bill patching, updating and SBOM requirements?
- Can these practices reduce organizations from onboarding new risks?

Security on the Edge: Endpoint
Protection
May 18 | 2-3PM ET
Realizing this limitation, Crowdstrike and Medigate by Claroty have created a new level of integration extending the features of endpoint protection to the connected medical device inventory. In an AAMI exclusive 6 part series, we explain the unique variations that HHS has recommended for traditionally IT centric security practices in order to address medical device security challenges. Join us and learn how your Endpoint Protection can be extended to your medical devices and learn:
- Why is Endpoint Protection an HHS Best Practice?
- Understand the limitations in using endpoint protection on medical devices.
- Know what data needs to be shared between solutions & the benefits to security
- How does the combination of the solutions provide more comprehensive and accurate real-time vulnerability detection and response?
- Unmanaged Devices…. Do we have those? How many and why?
- How to identify OS vulnerabilities and unpatched devices before a security event.
