The Physician’s Veto: Why 90% of Health Tech Pilots Never Scale and What Device Companies Keep Getting Wrong About Clinical Adoption

259 A

It’s the physician’s veto: the clinician who quietly stops using a device, the workflow that won’t adapt, or the reimbursement code that doesn’t exist. In this session, panelists will explore why promising innovations struggle to scale in hospitals and share strategies for designing with clinicians, workflows, and reimbursement realities in mind.
