Description (English):

This document specifies general requirements for ORGANIZATIONS in the application of RISK MANAGEMENT before, during and after the connection of a HEALTH IT SYSTEM within a HEALTH IT INFRASTRUCTURE, by addressing the KEY PROPERTIES of SAFETY, EFFECTIVENESS and SECURITY whilst engaging appropriate stakeholders. IEC 80001-1:2021 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) structure changed to better align with ISO 31000; b) establishment of requirements for an ORGANIZATION in the application of RISK MANAGEMENT; c) communication of the value, intention and purpose of RISK MANAGEMENT through principles that support preservation of the KEY PROPERTIES during the implementation and use of connected HEALTH SOFTWARE and/or HEALTH IT SYSTEMS.

Abstract

Overview

IEC 80001-1:2021 - Safety, effectiveness and security in the implementation and use of connected medical devices or connected health software (Part 1: Application of risk management) is a double‑logo IEC/ISO standard that defines organizational requirements for applying risk management to Health IT systems and infrastructures. This second edition (replacing the 2010 edition) is a technical revision that realigns structure with ISO 31000, establishes explicit requirements for organizations, and clarifies principles to preserve the key properties of safety, effectiveness and security during implementation and clinical use of connected medical devices and health software.

Key Topics and Requirements

Scope and lifecycle coverage: requirements apply before, during and after connection of a Health IT system within a Health IT infrastructure, focusing on the “implementation and clinical use” lifecycle phase.
Principles and framework: high‑level principles communicate the value and intent of risk management and align with ISO 31000.
Organizational responsibilities: leadership, commitment, assignment of roles, authorities, responsibilities and accountabilities, and resource allocation.
Risk management process: generic requirements for risk analysis, risk evaluation and risk control, including a documented Risk Management File.
Lifecycle‑specific requirements: acquisition, installation/customization, integration/data migration, implementation and training, operation/maintenance, and decommissioning.
Stakeholder engagement and communication: establishment of consultation, information sharing and documentation practices.
Security and access: consideration of network ports, protocols, services, malware controls, and access privileges as part of overall safety and effectiveness.
Guidance and annexes: informative mappings and templates (e.g., requirements mapping table, guidance for accompanying information) to support implementation and verification.

Applications and Who Uses It

Healthcare delivery organizations (hospitals, clinics, networks) assessing safety, effectiveness and cybersecurity risks when connecting devices and health software.
Clinical engineers, IT and cybersecurity teams, risk managers responsible for integration, operation and maintenance of Health IT.
Vendors and integrators designing or supplying connected medical devices and health IT systems to demonstrate compliance and support safe integration.
Regulators and auditors referencing organizational risk management practices for oversight and compliance assessments.

Practical value includes standardized processes for demonstrating due diligence, improving patient safety, reducing cyber‑related clinical interruptions, and enabling safer, more effective deployment of cloud or on‑premises Health IT services.
