The Respiratory Homecare Industry- before its too late
Perhaps learning from recent experience in the homecare mobility (and oxygen) business the Sleep Manufacturers Alliance has been formed. More details at RTmagazine
When arch rivals such as Embla, Fisher & Paykel, Invacare, Pro-Tech, Puritan Bennett, ResMed, Respironics, Sunrise Medical, and VIASYS get together you have to believe that there are huge industry challenges on the way.
Perhaps a group like this can help provide the balance in providing great affordable healthcare in an environment where politicians are perhaps more interested in their next election results than in the health of their constituents.

The study comes in the wake of the attempted capping of reimbursement for oxygen equipment delivered to the home. See recent related market commentary.
