Much of 24×7 Magazine’s success is attributable to the magazine’s stellar advisory board, Forsythe-Stephens says. “Our board encompasses the best and the brightest in the healthcare technology management field,” she adds. “In addition to helping 24×7 Magazine plan its editorial calendar, board members regularly contribute bylined articles, serve as interview subjects, and fact-check content for us.” Such collaboration ensures 24×7 Magazine stays abreast of all the changes affecting the HTM industry.
“Keeping HTM professionals in-the-know is something 24×7 Magazine has done well for more than two decades,” Forsythe-Stephens says, “and it’s something we’ll continue doing in the coming years.” Key topics covered in 2017 included Joint Commission regulatory updates, education, battery management, HTM/IT integration, cybersecurity, and 24×7 Magazine’s annual Salary Survey—and 2018 promises to bring even more exciting editorial to its valued audience.
“Our readers are at the forefront of patient care—purchasing and maintaining equipment that has life-saving implications,” Forsythe-Stephens says, “and 24×7 Magazine will continue to support the clinical engineering community by providing fresh and cutting-edge editorial
