Vastian, the leading SaaS-based Quality management software for clinical laboratories and hospitals, today announced it has been selected as the winner of the “Compliance Management Innovation Award” in the 2026 MedTech Breakthrough Awards program.

The MedTech Breakthrough Awards recognize the most innovative companies, technologies, and products in the global digital health and medical technology market. The 2026 program received more than 5,000 nominations worldwide, with winners including Boston Scientific, CVS Health, Medtronic, Teladoc, Thermo Fisher Scientific, IQVIA, PointClickCare, and Vastian.

Vastian was recognized for its connected healthcare Quality platform, which serves as a system of record across critical Quality workflows in hospitals and laboratories. Customers using Vastian’s Quality applications see cited deficiencies fall nearly 80%, a result of embedding compliance into daily operations rather than treating it as a periodic event.

“Quailty teams in hospitals and labs are being asked to do more with less, against a regulatory backdrop that gets more complex every year,” said Tom Ormondroyd, CEO of Vastian. “Our customers don’t need another point solution, or something not built intentionally for healthcare. They need a purpose-built system of record that removes the manual work from compliance, so their teams can focus on what matters most: patient safety and care quality. This recognition reflects the impact of that approach.”

Vastian’s platform is built on more than 30 years of regulatory expertise and supports both laboratory and hospital environments. Across its customer base, the platform manages tens of millions of controlled documents, assessments, forms, and inspection and survey events spanning CAP, CLIA, Joint Commission, CMS, IOS, and other regulatory frameworks. To date, customers have:

  • Corrected over 100,000 deficiencies  
  • Resolved more than 1,000,000 corrective action plans  
  • Logged 15 million+ compliance events across CAP, CLIA, Joint Commission, CMS, and other frameworks  

By automating evidence tracking and aligning workflows to regulatory standards, Vastian enables organizations to maintain continuous readiness, reducing reliance on manual processes and last-minute survey preparation.

“Hospital Quality teams are stretched thin, and survey outcomes often hinge on whether evidence is organized and available on demand. When compliance is embedded into daily operations and care delivery, readiness is no longer a concern—it’s simply how the organization functions.” said Michelle Hilburn,  AVP Quality, Compliance and Standards of Vastian.

The full list of 2026 MedTech Breakthrough Award winners will be announced publicly on May 8, 2026.
