Rift between Medical Device Developers and Healthcare Providers Deepening

Frost & Sullivan hosts complimentary webinar: costing pressures and pending reform has created a contentious dynamic

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA
WHEN:      Thursday, June 30, 2011 at 1 p.m. EDT
LOCATION:   Online, with free registration
SPEAKERS:    Venkat Rajan, Industry Manager for Frost & Sullivan’s Medical Devices Practice

It is well recognized that the cost of delivering healthcare in the U.S. is spiraling at a rate that is not sustainable in the long term.  However, when it comes to identifying how costs can be saved, there is a great deal of finger pointing between players when trying to identify where savings can be made.  

This webinar will take a look at recent market events to assess the potential long term impact on the medical device sector.  This information would be of interest to any individual or organization looking to gain a better understanding of the changing healthcare landscape.

“The complex nature of the healthcare system makes it often difficult to determine who ultimately pays for cuts and taxes levied,” said Frost & Sullivan Industry Manager Venkat Rajan.  “As both manufacturers and care providers in the system work on razor thin margins, it is a challenge to determine where costs can be cut without risking long term financial viability.”
