The development of consensus standards for medical devices in Canada.
The Canadian Standards Association Health Care Technology Program is a new, innovative program initiated by the Canadian Standards Association four years ago in response to the great increase in technology which has innundated our health care facilities. The goal of the program is to develop consensus standards in the medical engineering field and to help in implementing those standards across Canada through education, input to professional societies, and input to provincial or federal legislation.
