Medical devices: “The MedAccred program is a demonstration of commitment to absolute quality among elite medical device manufacturers, and provides a competitive edge for those who have worked hard to achieve accreditation.”

Sustainability: “The laboratory at the CPT Jennifer M. Moreno Primary Care Clinic began using heat sensitive labels on the urine collection cups. This initiative allowed the cups to be recycled while protecting the patient’s personal information. This effort reduced the clinic’s regulated medical waste costs by 30%.”

Robotics: “COVID-19 and all of the consequences of the pandemic underscored many inefficiencies in our supply chains and manufacturing systems, and we saw the public narrative moving from robots taking jobs to robots saving lives and rebooting the economy. Manufacturers, unions, and policy-makers need to all put their heads together to figure out how they can really leverage the vast amount of innovation that is happening because many of the biggest issues holding back robotics innovation are no longer technological, but related to societal, cultural, and business barriers.”
