Partnering with Policymakers to Advance Medical Technology
At the American Medical Technology Coalition, we believe that effective legislative engagement is critical to creating a policy environment that supports innovation, investment, and patient access to medical technologies. Our legislative engagement strategy focuses on building strong relationships with policymakers, providing expert insights and recommendations, and advocating for policies that drive progress in the medical technology sector.
Our Approach to Legislative Engagement
Targeted Outreach
We identify and engage with key legislators and committees that have jurisdiction over healthcare, technology, and innovation policies. By leveraging our network of industry experts and policy professionals, we develop targeted outreach strategies that align with the priorities and interests of individual policymakers.
Policy Analysis and Recommendations
Our team of policy experts conducts thorough analyses of proposed legislation, regulations, and initiatives that impact the medical technology sector. We develop evidence-based policy recommendations and provide policymakers with the insights and data they need to make informed decisions.
Congressional Briefings and Testimonies
We organize congressional briefings and provide expert testimonies to educate policymakers about the latest advancements in medical technology, the challenges facing the sector, and the potential impact of proposed policies. By sharing the perspectives of industry leaders, researchers, and patient advocates, we help shape the legislative agenda and build support for policies that foster innovation and improve patient care.
Grassroots Advocacy
We mobilize our coalition members and stakeholders to engage in grassroots advocacy efforts, including letter-writing campaigns, social media outreach, and in-person meetings with legislators. By empowering our members to share their stories and perspectives, we demonstrate the broad support for policies that advance medical technology and improve patient outcomes.
Collaboration and Consensus-Building
We work to build consensus among diverse stakeholders, including industry associations, patient advocacy groups, and healthcare providers, to present a united front on key policy issues. By collaborating with like-minded organizations and fostering dialogue among stakeholders, we strengthen our advocacy efforts and increase the likelihood of legislative success.
