Specific Product Types - Categories In Scope Potentially Out of Scope
Decision Tree Approach Intended Use - Functionality – Potential for Harm
Diagram • Is use intended to inform or change • decision making about: - initiating - discontinuing - modifying • care interventions or personal health • management ? NO Potentially in-scope YES Out-of-scope … defer to existing regulatory framework
Diagram 2 • Does malfunction, foreseeable misuse have • potential to cause patient injury, via: • Delay or failure to present clinical data/ • information at time of need • Presentation of outdated information • Patient-data mismatch ? YES Potentially in-scope NO Potentially out-of-scope
Diagram 2 Is the data/information that is managed by system the sole or 1o source of data at point of care (i.e., no alternate sources of data / info that can be used for confirmation) ? YES Potentially in-scope NO Potentially out-of-scope
Diagram 2 Through design and intended use, is patient or provider reliant on data/information to initiate or modify prescribed intervention or treatment ? YES Potentially in-scope NO Potentially out-of-scope
Examples of Scoping Using Decision Tree Approach In Scope Out of Scope • Claims processing • Health benefit eligibility • Practice management / Scheduling / Inventory management • Healthcare provider communication tools (e.g., email, paging) • Population management tools • Software using historical claims data to predict future utilization/cost of care • Cost effectiveness analytic software
Examples of Scoping Using Decision Tree Approach In Scope Out of Scope • Diseases severity scoring algorithms • Electronic guideline distribution • Disease registries
Examples of Scoping Using Decision Tree Approach In Scope Out of Scope • EHRs (installed, SaaS) • Hospital Information Systems-of-systems • Decision support algorithms • Visualization tools for anatomic, tissue images, medical imaging and waveforms • Health Information Exchanges • advanced functionality • Electronic/robotic patient care assistants • Claims processing • Health benefit eligibility • Practice management / Scheduling / Inventory management • Healthcare provider communication tools (e.g., email, paging) • Population management tools • Software using historical claims data to predict future utilization/cost of care • Cost effectiveness analytic software • Diseases severity scoring algorithms • Electronic guideline distribution • Disease registries
Diagram Does product currently meet FDA (Act 21 CFR) definition of Medical Device (including MDDS) ? NO Potentially in-scope YES Potentially in-scope
Explicitly Enter Into Scope Possible revisions or re-engineering of risk assessment and regulatory framework around certain products Currently explicitly regulated by FDA Meet definition but through enforcement discretion, regulatory framework is not actively enforced For Deliberation and Discussion
Explicitly Enter Into Scope Examples: Software only products Archiving systems MDDS Calculators For Deliberation and Discussion
Explicitly Enter Into Scope Rationale: Boundaries very blurred In some cases, nearly identical functionality and risk profile for explicitly regulated and non-regulated/non-enforced products Examples: PACS For Deliberation and Discussion
Final Conclusions Strive to: develop a framework that is able to meet future undefined needs avoid a discrete, static and specific defined list of named products Favor the decision tree approach that emphasizes functionality as a primary scoping criterion
Final Conclusions Be cautious of wide-spectrum use cases that span a risk-spectrum within a single functionality E.g. prescribing or alerting functions, but are used on both negligible-risk and high-risk medications/drugs Consider that any products that relies on patient lookup/patient data retrieval/data-patient matching should be evaluated for risks of patient-data mismatch
Final Conclusions In preparation: Matrix and formal decision tree tool Final one-page summary of taxonomy, process and rationale
