JSCAI has published a SCAI Statement on advocacy that explains how to get things done in Washington. The first half summarizes how health care laws are made, how medical devices are approved, and how reimbursement is determined.

The second half is a playbook of advocacy strategies: legislative advocacy, judicial advocacy, advocacy with regulators and payors, advocacy in the media, and participation in SCAI advocacy initiatives, such as the Government Relations Committee and SCAI Political Action Committee.
