Quorum 2011: Journal of Cardiac Surgery

A recent prospective, randomized controlled trial demonstrated that a continuous flow (CF) left ventricular assist device (LVAD) resulted in improved survival at 12 and 24months compared to a pulsatile-flow (PF) device. The current study examines the hospitalization costs associated with treatment of New York Heart Failure Class IV patients when implanted with a CF LVAD and compares them to previously reported costs of a PF LVAD in the same population.

BAYBIO ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2011

2011-04-15T20:04:00Z

Kuo Bianchini Tong, MS, Founder and CEO, Quorum Consulting, Inc, is a panelist at the 2011 BayBio Annual Conference in Burlingame on April 21st.
Private and government-sponsored healthcare reimbursement plans are quickly becoming the dominant forces in the healthcare market. The payers have the power of the purse and thus increasingly the power over which products advance to the market and which products are shelved. This is quickly becoming a key financing issue, as buyers of assets want to see the value proposition based on how the product will be reimbursed. A panel of key hospital and healthcare insurance decision makers will provide insight into their decision making process and discuss what both commercial and pre-commercial companies need to factor into their product development plans in order to reach patients and to get reimbursed.
