摘要

The goal of the conference was to foster collaboration between private sector nursing and the government in the development of strategies to prevent the occurence of iatrogenic incidents associated with medical device use. The conference addressed the educational needs of student and practicing nurses concerning the principles and uses of medical devices and to identify the supportive roles of organized nursing, the medical device industry, bioengineering, and other concerned professions. Two device education models, the Carnevali Model and the Abbey-Shepherd Model was described. The conference recommendations, original papers, panel discussion summaries, and examples of the Abbey-Shepherd device education model are included in the proceedings.
