CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Jan. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ – Ensuring that companies comply with the plethora of global regulations pertaining to developing and marketing new medical device products is a challenge faced by many organizations. To cope with these challenges, Regulatory Affairs groups rely on their own internal effectiveness and efficiencies to remain productive and to support their organization’s goals. Despite this, leaders are still struggling to know the optimal resourcing and staffing levels to prioritize the roles and responsibilities that will be most beneficial for growth.

The effectiveness of Regulatory Affairs groups within the medical device industry is directly tied to how well its responsibilities are prioritized and how the group itself is structured. According to recent research from benchmarking firm, Best Practices, LLC, a hybrid structure – one that centralizes planning, information, and coordination, but not staff – may help to increase overall efficiency.
The report, “Regulatory Affairs Excellence: Staffing & Performance in Medical Device Companies,” examines the structure and roles of Regulatory groups at medical device companies. The report also provides leaders with meaningful metrics around Regulatory affairs’ spend, FTEs and consultants for medical device operations in the U.S. and globally.
