Advancing healthy equity: MedTech’s initiatives to improve healthcare access and quality of care
Speakers
Disparities in health care and health outcomes occur across many demographic, socioeconomic, geographic and biological dimensions. The entire medtech industry – regulators, manufacturers, providers, and payers – has a significant role to play in reducing barriers to achieving health equity and improving health outcomes across diverse populations. No single player can address this challenge alone – as they say, it will take a village.
Attend this webinar to learn more about:
- Earlier this year, the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) released a discussion paper on advancing health equity in the context of medical devices (currently open for public comment).
- Medtech manufacturers are investing in helping to improve patient access to quality care and ensure innovative technology meets the needs of diverse populations, focusing on product innovation, clinical trial design and education targeted at patients and non-specialist providers.
- Providers and payers are implementing programs to educate patients and family members about symptom recognition, treatment options and management of chronic conditions.
