To strengthen our longstanding commitment to military medicine and health, we have established affiliations with:
Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC)
We are a non-traditional defense contractor member of the MTEC. MTEC is a 501(c)(3) biomedical technology consortium collaborating with multiple government agencies under a 10-year renewable Other Transaction Agreement with the USAMRDC. MTEC is designed to organize and conduct advanced applied research for prototype development to address a range of military capability needs.
Uniformed Services University (USU) and Henry M. Jackson Foundation (HJF)
We have a longstanding relationship going back more than a decade with the HJF to support USU on multiple programs, including research and systemic reviews, program design and evaluation, community health activation, and human performance optimization services. HJF relies on us as a partner to provide quality research, education, training and scientific support services that benefit the USU.
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Supporting the Health Equity and Prosperity Project, we worked to strengthen multi-sector community leaders and create both better health and more effective healthcare. Our analysis of the research revealed that the best outcomes will be gained where networked community leaders work to extend and improve life in healthier environments created through multi-sector partnerships.
Association of Military Surgeons of the United States (AMSUS), The Society of Federal Health Professionals
We are actively working with AMSUS, participating in the engagement between government and industry. We have provided support to AMSUS by facilitating the Executive Advisory Board (EAB) meetings and forums. AMSUS is a non-profit member-based educational and professional development association serving the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security to advance health for all – particularly through interagency collaboration.
Mayo Clinic
We work closely with the Motion Analysis Clinic at the Mayo Clinic to further the development of a national limb loss and limb preservation registry. The registry is designed to standardize, measure, and report patient outcomes data, support evidence-based decision making, enhance health care delivery, and establish and disseminate best practices in this field.
Dartmouth University Biomedical Engineering Center for Orthopedics
We have worked to develop a limb loss and limb preservation registry with Mayo Clinic, the Amputee Coalition, AOPA and other organizations with the goal to make data available which could improve patient outcomes and identify trends in the success or failure of medical devices. As a part of this work, we collaborated with the Dartmouth Biomedical Engineering Center (DBEC) for Orthopedics. DBEC is an academic retrieval laboratory and assesses new technologies and designs for orthopedic medical devices. DBEC exists as a sentinel in the effort to detect device failures prior to widespread harm to patients.
