Readying your medtech distribution for the future

COVID-19 dramatically changed priorities for the medical device and supply industry. Initially, many companies shifted their efforts toward the production of key COVID – related supplies necessary to keep up with hospitalizations. But now, as states begin to reopen, hospitals are rapidly resuming scheduling elective procedures. This Device Talks Tuesday will dive into how medical companies are preparing for post-COVID demand as existing challenges, like lack of labor and order accuracy, are amplified by new health concerns, and social distancing requirements.
