PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rimsys, the leading provider of Regulatory Information Management (RIM) software for the medtech industry, today announced the release of the 2023 Regulatory Performance Report, a new study that tracks trends in regulatory priorities, processes, and performance within medtech companies. The report is based on a survey of 200 regulatory professionals and executives across North America and Europe.
The report explores how regulatory affairs teams are staffed, their workload, average times to complete regulatory projects, where they experience compliance issues, and the growing trend of accelerating digital transformation within the industry.
"The need for this report was driven by conversations with several of our customers," said James Gianoutsos, Founder and CEO of Rimsys. "Regulatory leaders don't have clear benchmarks to measure the performance of their teams. They're looking at digital transformation initiatives to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their teams and want to understand what's possible, what really good execution looks like."
Key findings include:
Regulatory teams are lightly staffed compared to their workload.
A quarter of large medtech companies have 15 or fewer regulatory employees. These small teams complete over 100 renewals or license updates each year. Only 13% of companies make resourcing decisions based on anticipated workload, leaving any gaps to be filled with external consultants. Today, 90% of companies rely on consultants to complete regulatory projects.
Process failures are common.
Regulatory leaders self-assess the performance of their teams highly. A majority believe they outperform other regulatory affairs teams in similar companies in both project planning and execution. Yet over 60% reported a major non-compliance issue in that past year, and 24% had to withdraw products from a country or region due to non-compliance.

Digital transformation makes a measurable impact on productivity.
Companies are investing in process improvement, both by increasing staffing and growing technology budgets. They are moving away from generic productivity tools to more specialized solutions designed for regulatory processes. Companies that have implemented regulatory information management and regulatory intelligence systems report very high productivity gains and they complete regulatory projects more quickly.
Rimsys and PA Consulting, a global innovation and transformation consultancy, in conjunction with the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society, will be presenting and discussing the survey findings in an interactive webinar on February 23, 2023.

"A major trend we are tracking this year is focused on Medtech's engagement with regulatory bodies against a backdrop of new requirements for advanced technologies such as AI, and evolving legislation such as the MDR and IVDR transition in Europe. This has forced organizations to re-evaluate old processes and adopt new tools," said Marck Aghnatios, MedTech Expert at PA Consulting. "The impact of this change will be largely absorbed by the regulatory affairs function – which is accurately reflected Rimsys' study findings. The industry imperative for medtech leaders will be to digitize their business functions – starting with regulatory."

Rimsys worked with a third-party market research firm to field and administer the survey in July 2022. Survey respondents included 200 regulatory professionals at medtech (medical device, in vitro diagnostic, and software as a medical device) companies headquartered in the United States, Canada, and the European Union. Companies were evenly sampled across all sizes, from $10 million to more than $1 billion in revenue.
