Medical Device
With the union of scientific, electronic, and digital technologies; new breakthroughs in medical devices will continue to play a critical role in solving the problems in healthcare and enhancing the human condition. Companies that consistently produce quality, leading-edge medical solutions at low cost will create tremendous value and become market leaders.
The workshops in this series address the specific challenges in the medical device industry - for small companies that produce walkers and spectacles, to larger ones that create the most sophisticated diagnostic imaging and minimal invasive surgery equipment. Every professional in this industry needs the skills to
- understand the medical device product development process,
- manage medical device intellectual property,
- find and effectively use sources of financing,
- build a winning medical device management team,
- integrate clinical research and reimbursement in the product development plan,
- market medical device products domestically and internationally,
- understand quality and implications of regulatory issues, and
- recognize mergers, acquisitions, and other medical device exit strategies.
"An outstanding summary of the ever-changing reimbursement landscape. A much needed review for those project managers managing complex projects that entail reimbursement."
