The integration of medical device systems and general hospital information technology (IT) infrastructure creates a medical device-IT network that requires patient-oriented cybersecurity risk management to ensure patient safety. This study discusses the roles of clinical engineering in taking initiatives in the implementation of the ISO/IEC 80001-1 risk management framework in a hospital environment. Further, we present lessons learned and clinical engineering opportunities in managing medical device cybersecurity, which include development of an integrated systems test lab.Clinical Relevance- This paper highlights Clinical Engineering's leadership role in implementing an effective risk management system for integrated medical device systems to reduce cybersecurity risks to enhance patient care and safety.
