Shaping the Future of Medical Technology Policy

At the American Medical Technology Coalition, we are committed to advocating for policies that foster innovation, support research and development, and ensure patient access to life-changing medical technologies. Our comprehensive advocacy strategy focuses on creating a regulatory environment that encourages investment, accelerates the adoption of new technologies, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.

Our Advocacy Priorities

National Health Technology Board

We advocate for the establishment of a National Health Technology Board that will provide strategic guidance and oversight for the integration of medical technologies into the healthcare system. This board will bring together experts from government, industry, academia, and patient advocacy groups to ensure a coordinated and patient-centric approach to medical technology policy.

Research and Development Support

Research and Development Support

We work to secure increased funding and incentives for medical technology research and development, recognizing the critical role of innovation in advancing patient care. By collaborating with key stakeholders, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), we aim to create a robust ecosystem that supports cutting-edge research and accelerates the translation of discoveries into clinical practice.

Public-Private Partnerships

Public-Private Partnerships

We promote the development of public-private partnerships that bring together the expertise and resources of government agencies, industry leaders, and academic institutions. These collaborations are essential for driving innovation, sharing knowledge, and addressing the complex challenges facing the medical technology sector.

Regulatory Simplification

We advocate for the streamlining of regulatory processes for medical devices and digital health technologies, ensuring that innovative products can reach patients faster without compromising safety or effectiveness. By working closely with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory bodies, we aim to create a more efficient and predictable regulatory landscape that encourages investment and innovation.

Data Security and Privacy

We prioritize the protection of patient data and advocate for robust security measures and standards in the development and deployment of medical technologies. Our goal is to build trust in digital health solutions and ensure that patients' privacy rights are safeguarded as technology becomes increasingly integrated into healthcare delivery.

Reimbursement and Access

We work to ensure that innovative medical technologies are appropriately valued and reimbursed within the healthcare system. By engaging with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and other payers, we advocate for policies that recognize the benefits of medical technology and provide patients with access to the most effective and appropriate treatments.

International Collaboration

We promote international collaboration and knowledge sharing in the field of medical technology, recognizing that global cooperation is essential for driving innovation and improving patient outcomes worldwide. By engaging with international organizations and participating in global initiatives, we aim to foster a collaborative ecosystem that benefits patients across borders.
