Risk practitioners, including engineers and quality/regulatory experts, mostly focus on device-related risks to ensure safety and effectiveness. Physicians, on the other hand, have to consider the totality of risks, including those arising from the procedure or patient-related factors. Physician’s have to tailor the overall benefit-risk to an individual patient.
In this episode, Dr. Elisha Patel helps us understand a physician’s view on risk.
