There is opportunity for orthopedic companies to create partnerships with surgeons, department leadership and executive administration. Three leaders share how.
Dr. Alejandro Badia, Hand and Upper Limb Surgeon, shared perspectives on healthcare, vendor engagement and pursuit of clinical and business leadership and influence.
In anticipation of leveraging conversations with surgeons at AAOS’ Annual Meeting, this column focuses on major trends reshaping the device company and provider relationship. Each of these trends represent opportunity for orthopedic companies.
Patrick Vega's quarterly column is intended to prompt orthopedic device company thinking beyond price by better understanding the provider environment and by pursuing provider partnerships that convert one-time sales into long-term strategic and trusted partnerships. He explores core elements of hospital value analysis and purchasing, and ways that your sales channel can successfully navigate the processes.
The mid- to long-term future will require increased evidence to support pricing and value by device companies. It can be contended that broader thinking and strategic response around quality might actually create opportunities for sustained and growing market share for OEMs, as well as greater value for customers-hospitals, physicians and patients.
