“Each year the competition keeps getting stronger with more and more entries submitted across our award categories,” said David Kopf, executive editor of HME Business magazine. “This year’s contest saw a lot of business services and business technology entries, reflecting providers’ evergrowing need for resources that help them respond strategically to market shifts and reimbursement policy changes.
“On the product side of the entries, we saw particularly hot competition in the sleep, mobility, retail and respiratory categories,” he added. “All in all, it was an exciting year.”
The New Product Award entries are judged by a blind panel of judges from the HME provider community. This year’s competition saw some new judges join the effort.
“I really appreciate our judges generously contributing their time and expertise, and applaud their industry spirit for wanting to support a provider-judged awards program to help their industry peers,” Kopf said. “We couldn’t do this award program without them.”
