Data-Driven Cost Savings for Orthopedics

Independent certification for safer healthcare technology management.

Ensure safe, reliable, and high-performing clinical engineering

Medical devices are critical to healthcare, yet they introduce increasing complexity and risk. ECRI’s Clinical Engineering Certification (CEC) Program provides an independent, standards-based evaluation of your clinical and biomedical engineering operations, delivering a clear and actionable roadmap to enhance safety, reliability, and performance across your organization.

Independent, standards-based assessment you can trust

The CEC Program offers a rigorous on-site evaluation aligned with internationally recognized ISO standards and best practices. Our independent evaluators assess clinical engineering operations, medical device management, and technology-related risks—including health IT integration and IEC 80001-1 compliance—and provide a prioritized improvement plan to drive measurable outcomes.

Designed to meet the evolving demands of healthcare delivery

By addressing the full scope of healthcare technology management, the CEC Program goes beyond general accreditation to cover medical equipment oversight, maintenance quality, technology assessment, and device-related safety. It supports a wide range of healthcare organizations—including independent hospitals, university hospitals, hospital groups, and those with outsourced clinical engineering—giving leadership confidence that safety, quality, and operational performance are being effectively managed.

Demonstrate safety, quality, and operational excellence

Achieving CEC certification demonstrates a clear organizational commitment to patient safety, quality processes, and cost-effective technology management. Backed by more than 50 years of independent research and expertise, the program strengthens governance, enhances reporting, supports recruitment and retention of top engineering talent, and delivers trusted certification that goes beyond compliance to optimize outcomes and advance evidence-based healthcare across EMEA.
