Increased oversight by regulatory agencies.
Public outcry has demanded that medical device safety remain a top priority for regulators, legislators and consumers. The medical technology industry is under the increasing scrutiny of the FDA and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). The complexity of medical devices continues to increase, with a greater possibility that patient care could be compromised. As medical devices becomes more complex, tools to manage that complexity become more critical.

Meeting the challenges of sustained innovation.
Innovation is the key to strong performance for medical technology companies. Medical technology companies continue to seek innovative products to fill their pipelines and deliver new sources of revenue. The integration of drugs and devices is a highly promising area in the foreseeable future. In this trend, medical technology companies will face increased complexity in managing the regulatory, operational, financial and organizational challenges associated with establishing new business models to support these new technologies.

Medical Technology Businesses Respond
