In today’s challenging healthcare environment, field medical teams have grown to become a critical function in building the credibility of an organization in the eyes of key external stakeholders. However, companies must continually adjust their field medical team footprint and strategy to effectively support their unique portfolios in each of the global markets they serve.
To make prudent allocation of resources and reinvent the engagement model, Medical Affairs leaders need an agile approach that is data driven. This is especially true when companies operate across global markets and several therapeutic areas.
Ascertaining that the resource levels, strategy benchmarks and metrics resonate different countries and therapeutic areas is the “Achilles Heel” for field-based medical leaders at bio-pharma companies.
To this end, Best Practices, LLC has launched its Field Medical Excellence service – spotlighted in this white paper – to help Medical Affairs leaders optimize their field-based operations. Through our decade’s worth of expertise in field-based medical benchmarks, we have developed our Field Medical Excellence dashboard that will enable Medical Affairs leaders to quickly assess their performance across key resourcing, performance, and productivity metrics. This dashboard captures benchmarks across key geographic regions such as the United States, Europe and Asia covering more than 30 key countries.
