Building the National Evaluation System for Medical Devices: Using Real World Evidence to Improve Device Safety and Effectiveness, a workshop jointly sponsored by the University of Maryland Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation and the Food and Drug Administration. Using Real World Evidence to Improve Device Safety and Effectiveness will provide clinicians, researchers and others from the medical device industry, professional societies, health care delivery systems, patient advocacy groups, and the FDA the opportunity to discuss the scientific progress being made in harnessing evidence generated from the real-world use of medical devices to improve device safety and effectiveness. The role that Unique Device Identification (UDI) plays in improving device evaluation to support more informed clinical and patient decision-making and device innovation will also be discussed.

Open to the public. Registration required.
