OUR CULTURE OF QUALITY

Building a culture of quality is the greatest commitment we can make to our customers, clinicians, and patients. Without it, everything else — from innovative product and therapy development to market expansion — becomes near impossible to achieve.

- Omar Ishrak, chairman and CEO, Medtronic

GLOBAL QUALITY STRATEGY

Medtronic Global Quality Strategy Diagram

Our quality strategy goes hand-in-hand with our continued development of groundbreaking medical technology and solutions that improve patient care and transform lives. Our strategy aligns with industry standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and regulatory agencies around the world. It is organized around three basic imperatives:

  • Fostering a mindset of excellence across Medtronic to ensure that every everyone — employees and suppliers around the world — takes personal responsibility for patient safety.
  • Ensuring product superiority by incorporating processes to identify and eliminate quality issues early in development and protect the privacy and security of patients and healthcare systems.
  • Advancing effective and efficient compliance with global regulators through corporate governance initiatives and robust training programs focused on compliance, ethics, and integrity.

As our technology evolves, so does our global quality strategy. Learn more about the programs and processes embedded in our culture that drive achievement of these goals.
