DATA INTEGRITY PORTAL
We appreciate your participation in the SAMED's Data with Integrity initiative.
Please view the video below which explains the initiative.
Data is important to governments, associations, and companies for a variety of reasons i.e.
- increases efficiencies - allows identification of priority areas and direct scarce resources
- allows proactive responses to challenges before they become a crisis
- allows determination of the root cause of problems and enables effective and accurate solutions
- provides indisputable evidence to make informed decisions and take action to improve the sustainability of the medtech sector
- allows establishment of baselines, benchmarks, and goals to keep moving forward and track achievements
- helps determine how well strategies are performing, and whether an approach needs to be tweaked or changed over the long-term
- is a key component to advocacy and will help present a strong argument for positions and change requests and will help explain decisions to stakeholders
- allows replication of areas of strength across organizations
The data collected from members may be aggregated to generate industry specific reports which SAMED will use to inform strategies, decisions, submissions and engagement with stakeholders, be it on medical device regulations, economic policy, localization, National Health Insurance, transformation, sector sustainability or future pandemics. Such data provides credibility and integrity to SAMED’s seat at the table and members can access their own dashboard and reports.
The platform is secured using a variety of measures and technologies including:
- Strong password requirements
- Regular password resets
- Deactivation of dormant accounts
- The website domain has a security certificate
- Azure platform encryption
The estimated completion time is around 2 hours for the entire questionnaire, but this can vary depending on access to the requested information and will be less for each individual section.
Please note that the platform is currently on open to SAMED member companies.
