Medical Device and Instrumentation Perigree

1	"We make technology easy to live with"
2	How to Project a Developing Trend
3	Forecasting Labor Trends through Universal Drivers
4	Progression to Unified Data, Standards and Interoperability
5	Increasing Exposure causes Regulatory Momentum
6	Medical Device & Instrumentation Pedigree: Defined MD & I Pedigree states: That tagging instruments with a communication technology could be used to authenticate, monitor, report and track a particular instruments’ history relative to a predefined event cycle, involving maintenance, sterilization history (all TTL elements), a patients surgical procedure in order to achieve maximum utilization and security through out the device’s life cycle. Right Patient Right Procedure Right Location Right Instrument Right Maintenance Process improvement based on regulatory initiative coupled with affordable integration of commercial technology solutions, will enable and amplify the positive results to the manual process. The synergy of process improvement and technology solutions will result in a stronger case with practical and verifiable results. Medical Device and Instrumentation Pedigree provides a compelling public safety reason, affordable healthcare provider solution and a profitable vendor product result.
7	"A Case for Medical Device..." A Case for Medical Device & Instrumentation Pedigree Regulatory Momentum with Complimentary Efforts FDA and other agencies State regulatory support Escalating Infrastructure Pervasive wireless networks Commercial acceptance Pharma initiative and DoD commitment to EHR Major interoperability developments HL7: ANSI-CDC-FDA: submitted to Intl’ community SNOMED® (the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine) Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) Int’l harmonization regulation of medical devices Vendor Trend Existing technology healthcare segmented vendors forming alliances with vendors adjacent to their core skill sets to increase product and service offerings.
8	"What is missing" What is missing? Increasing Public Awareness of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs) 2 Million infections, $4.5 Bil cost, 90,000 Deaths (CDC) http://www.ncsl.org/programs/health/shn/2006/statenews460.htm Accurate reporting of adverse events Infrastructure funding Canadian Gov. has committed $281m vs. USA $111m to EHR Population Proportional Equivalent in US: $2.7 Billion Healthcare lags other industries IT investment by 1% (2006) Medical Device and Instrument Manufacturers forming an industry consortium to drive the process.
9	"Infection Control Concerns (Medical..." Infection Control Concerns (Medical Device and Instrumentation Pedigree) will overtake Pharma Control Concerns (Pharma Pedigree) by 2007! The numbers are “felt” by more people 2 million suffer from infection vs. ?? Pharma Higher accountability There are fewer high margin items to track. Yielding a faster ROI. The current acceptance of wireless technology will drive infrastructure Infection control is a global concern
10	"Infection Control Concerns (Medical..." Infection Control Concerns (Medical Device and Instrumentation Pedigree) will overtake Pharma Control Concerns (Pharma Pedigree) by 2007! Major Interoperability developments The benefits will first be realized in closed loop systems. Several systems will seamlessly be integrated, allowing staff and patients to automatically drive process changes through a hospital’s internal systems. Vendor Trend Look for increased activity in mergers and acquisitions in 2006. Technological developments specifically addressing infection control
