Why we're different
Data accuracy and diversity
Answering the sorts of complex market access questions that are increasingly important in medical device markets requires a rich, diverse data set.
To guide client decisions, we leverage chargemaster data, which lets us analyze device penetration and hospital charges; purchase order data, for assessing impact of brand rationalization and cross-portfolio selling; and multi-payer claims data, for understanding differences in reimbursement and economic outcomes by payer or region.
