According to L.E.K. Consulting, medical device
companies are suffering from unprecedented pricing pressures. Recently, the
consulting company published the results of a survey with American hospitals’
CEOs reporting that reducing costs is among their top five most pressing needs.
Also, the purchasing process has become more complicated and all supplies and
new technologies have to go through a value/cost analysis.
Despite cost pressure, most of the hospitals’ CEOs
answered that they are interested in buying additional services from medtech
companies, especially in clinical IT and analytics, operations management and
efficiency, and education, training, and compliance. They want to see medtech
firms prove that their solutions can improve the quality of patient care, lower
hospitals’ overall costs, or increase the efficiency of their clinical staffs.
