Are regulations and requirements preventing products, solutions, and treatments out of the hands of patients that really need them? Good providers want to improve patient care and try to use new products that can help, but they're often restricted by the red tape in their own network. This, plus a culture amongst physicians that's difficult to change, makes innovation in healthcare a massive challenge.

The 2022 Colorado Manufacturing Woman of the Year shares what inspired her to engineer a new and improved cast, the challenges she faces in getting the product to patients, and what steps to take to launch your innovative ideas.
