Medical Device Industry Challenges
Accountable care and value-based reimbursement are causing a significant shift in the medical device industry. Value of the device and data capability alone will not drive sales. Health care practitioners are looking for solutions that bundle device, data, and real-time analytics together in their health care systems. These device solutions need to be capable of having improved decision-making outcomes and actionable tracking of data into existing electronic medical record systems and health information exchanges. These devices also need to provide the efficacy and results data required in value-based reimbursement models. In today’s medical environment, nearly all manufacturers of medical devices face two key interrelated challenges the first being, how to adapt to the shift to value-based payment models and secondly, how to protect margins with products that use strategic interoperability platforms to create solutions with integration, data aggregation, and analytics capabilities.
