How to decode HAS scores to identify hospitals ready to buy your medical device.

The Haute Autorité de Santé publishes the certification of 3,000+ facilities every year. This public data reveals far more than a quality level: it is a direct purchase intent signal for MedTech companies that know how to read it. A B+ certified facility with a re-audit within 18 months must invest. A CHU whose IFAQ score drops faces financial pressure to upgrade. This guide explains how to extract these signals and convert them into a B2B healthcare pipeline.
