The experts say that using these criteria to finalize device selection can result in choices that help address three of health care’s greatest challenges: controlling costs, delivering high-quality and easily accessible patient care, and complying with government and industry regulations.

The decision can be broken down into seven criteria: functionality, usability, security, network connectivity, durability, application availability and price.
