Day 1

Day 1 | June 14

MDIC, in collaboration with the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) launched a pilot version of the pilot version of the Voluntary Improvement Program (VIP) in 2018. In May of 2021, MDIC’s Case for Quality In collaborative community (CFQcc) announced the transition of the VIP from a pilot to a full program.

VIP is a highly innovative and quality focused program that empowers stakeholders across the medical device ecosystem to both improve quality and patient outcomes.

On behalf of the Case for Quality Collaborative Community and in recognition of the one-year anniversary of its transition from pilot to full program, the programming of this forum will highlight the success stories of participants since their enrollment, benefits of the appraisal program and more. Join us for Day 1 of the Case for Quality Forum to hear these exciting updates and their implications for the industry.

Day 2 | June 15

Join MDIC for the Case for Quality Leadership Engagement Forum to gain the latest insights into how the medical device manufacturers are producing higher quality products, how leadership involvement affects the quality of outputs and an interactive analysis of the recent CfQ community Leadership Engagement Benchmarking Survey.

The Leadership Engagement program was developed to understand the impact of leadership engagement on company performance and the quality and safety of its products. While the focus of the program is to advance the medical device industry, the principles apply to all industries. This forum will discuss the results of the Leadership Engagement Survey.
