Titan Spine executive appointed to executive operations committee for MDEpiNet

Titan Spine recently announced the appointment of Jeff Dunkel, Titan Spine vice president of strategic partnering, to the Executive Operations Committee of the Medical Device Epidemiology Network Initiative.

The initiative is a collaborative program of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). The CDRH and external partners share information and resources to enhance understanding of the safety and effectiveness of medical devices after they are marketed, according to a press release from Titan Spine.

The executive operations committee has been implemented to advise and drive forward this form of evidence-based medicine. As part of the new committee, Dunkel will educate health systems on the impact of data, registries and the Affordable Care Act for facilities, patients and practitioners, according to the release.

“We are proud that Jeff has been selected for the FDA’s [Medical Device Epidemiology Network Initiative] MDEpiNet Executive Operations Committee. This elite group is comprised of key opinion leaders from industry, academia and government. Jeff’s expertise and vast experience in health care systems and policy make him a true asset to the committee. Furthermore, his appointment is a major achievement for Titan Spine and validates our capabilities in our pursuit of advancing innovation,” Peter Ullrich, chief executive officer of Titan Spine, said in the release.
