Medtech companies operate in a complex ecosystem where understanding and managing Healthcare Professional (HCP) and Healthcare Organization (HCO) relationships is critical. Yet fragmented systems, regulatory pressure, and data inconsistencies often stand in the way of effective client engagement.We explors the key challenges of client data management in medtech — from Master Data Management (MDM) to regulatory compliance — and presents Aligna, a Salesforce-based, purpose-built solution that enables medtech companies to take control of their client data landscape.

The Client Data Challenge in Medtech

Client management in medtech is unlike any other sector. HCPs often wear multiple hats — prescribers, KOLs, hospital consultants — while HCOs are part of layered, dynamic structures. Successfully engaging these stakeholders requires:

• Mastering affiliations across institutions
• Tracking role-specific interactions and permissions
• Ensuring compliant use of personal and organizational data

However, most organizations face:

• Siloed data across CRM, ERP, and compliance systems
• Outdated or duplicated records
• Lack of clarity in data ownership and quality assurance
• Inability to maintain up-to-date maps of HCP-HCO relationships

Complexity Behind the HCP/HCO Data Model

The data model in medtech is not hierarchical — it is networked and dynamic:

• One HCP → Multiple HCOs
• One HCO → Multiple Departments or Networks
• Changing roles, geographies, licenses, and affiliations

This creates significant challenges for:

• Territory alignment
• Key Account Management (KAM)
• Sunshine Act & EFPIA transparency reporting
• CRM segmentation and targeting logic

The need for accurate, up-to-date, and compliant data is non-negotiable.
