20 Years of the Medical Device "Plug-and-Play" 
Interoperability & Cybersecurity Program

The MD PnP program, established in 2004, has become a recognized leader in improving healthcare through the development and adoption of integrated clinical environments (ICE). We have been working to accelerate the adoption of medical device interoperability by providing interoperability building blocks (use cases, standards, a vendor-neutral lab “test bed” environment, and open-source regulatory science tools) and by changing clinical and market expectations of what 
can be achieved.

MD PnP has taken a multi-faceted approach to identifying and addressing key barriers 
to achieving safe interoperability, including 
the development and support of suitable 
open standards, shared sample contracting language, and the elicitation, collection 
and modeling of clinical use cases and engineering requirements for the ICE platform-based “ecosystem”.
