From DC to OC: How Politicians Shape the MedTech Landscape
In this Orange Tree MedTech Podcast episode, Scott Johnson speaks with CEO of AdvaMed, Scott Whitaker. He is widely recognized as a top health care advocate and policy expert with experience across multiple health policy sectors, having worked successfully with diverse stakeholder groups – including hospital, patient and physician groups, regulators, public and private payers, and global trade organizations – to advance medical technology innovation and timely patient access to next-generation treatments and cures.
Prior to AdvaMed®, He was chief operating officer of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), the world’s largest trade association representing biotechnology companies, and president of the BIO International Convention, the world’s largest biotech conference. Whitaker also previously served as chief of staff of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) – a cabinet agency with 67,000 employees and a budget of $550 billion – from 2003 to 2005. As HHS chief of staff, he managed the day-to-day operations of the department; led the department’s activities on all major policy and management issues and initiatives; and served as the top liaison to the White House on policy, management and political matters. He also served as assistant secretary for legislation at HHS from 2001 to 2003.
In this episode we talk about AdvaMed's work in Washington DC, the Regulatory Alignment for Predictable and Immediate Device (RAPID) coverage pathway, what to expect from the Medical Device User Fee Admendment (MDUFA), the Senate passage of legislation restoring programs that jumpstart early stage medtech innovation, and his upcoming engagement at Orange Tree's MedTech CEO Forum.
