I am particularly pleased to see so many examples of companies reaching out to their communities and engaging with employees – after all, medtech is really about people rather than technology.

Delivering value that’s valued

A series of blogs, videos and case studies offered a global view of value in healthcare

What is value? The meaning may depend on whether you are providing healthcare or receiving it, and the precise definition is often uniquely personal. For some, the priority may be delivering efficiency, reducing medical errors and controlling costs while maintaining quality. Others find the importance in accelerated rehabilitation, less time in hospital, better patient experiences and optimal clinical outcomes.

Whatever your perspective, innovative services and solutions can play an important role in achieving value that is valued. To give a holistic view of what value means to patients, hospitals and health professionals, Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices published a series of eight thought leadership articles, three patient case studies and four videos.

The online campaign – executed at a European level – spanned a wide range of topics from treating irregular heartbeats and efficient hip replacement, to patient-centricity and what smart phones can teach us about value-based healthcare. Not only did this showcase the role of medtech leaders in shaping the future of care from the UK to Russia, it emphasised the breadth of valued solutions the sector brings to market.

‘MedTech Week is an opportunity for the industry to acknowledge, celebrate and reflect on what we achieve together with our healthcare provider partners,’ wrote Frank Jaubert, Vice President, Services EMEA, J&J Medical Devices in a piece shared on LinkedIn.

The campaign reached more than 45,000 people across social media channels and inspired strong engagement from stakeholders and the wider public. The thought leadership blogs and patient case studies were also viewed over 1,500 times on internal J&J channels and a further 4,000 times on company and leaders’ external digital platforms. Clearly, the campaign itself was valued by the target audience.
