MEDICAL AFFAIRS: The Roles, Value and Practice of Medical Affairs in the Biopharmaceutical and Medical Technology Industries (Taylor & Francis, 2024)
This MAPS Executive Consortium article explores ways in which Medical Affairs can help industry adapt its practices to deal with emerging issues in the transition to personalized medicine.
The Medical Affairs Professional Society (MAPS) Insights Focus Area Working Group (FAWG) formed a subcommittee to identify best practices and recommend guidelines for an effective insights management process. The following slides are an overview of key success factors identified.
Join the MAPS Med Tech FAWG as they discuss "Medical Affairs Mastery: Shaping the Future of MedTech with MAPS"!
This webinar will help attendees:
The MAPS Executive Consortium details how Medical Affairs will drive the evolution of industry to match the needs of a changing society.
This white paper addresses insights challenges in Strategy, Data Generation, and Analysis/Reporting – arming Medical Affairs teams with the tools and opportunity to build strategies that preempt these challenges.
Strategic objectives are a foundational component of a medical strategy and are informed by the product and therapeutic landscape – they bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. The objectives ultimately lead to individual tactics and activities that will deliver on the strategy so it is imperative that the objectives are focused, specific and give proper guidance to the medical team and organization. Understanding how to develop robust strategic objectives is a skill that all Medical Affairs teams should possess. This webinar will help you build a foundational knowledge in medical strategy and objective development by covering key topics such as:
1) Consideration of the product and therapeutic landscape
2) Components of robust objectives
3) Importance of collaborative objective development
4) Fundamentals of measuring objectives
MAPS is pleased to share our 2023 Medical Metrics Benchmarking Report, based on findings from 51 leading organizations representing the Pharmaceutical, Biotech, and Medical and Diagnostic Device sectors.
In today’s rapidly evolving pharmaceutical environment, Medical Affairs teams are under increasing pressure to understand how to go beyond “activity engagement” metrics and identify areas of opportunity to advance evidenced-based medicine and treatment with current available data.
This webinar will provide a historical perspective on value, as well as insights to help Medical Affairs professionals measure and demonstrate the impact of their activities in a complex environment.
As Medical Affairs teams strive to identify areas of opportunity and demonstrate their value, understanding the importance of data-driven strategies is essential. In this webinar, we will discuss the historical perspective on value in Medical Affairs, as well as strategies to measure and demonstrate impact in an evolving pharmaceutical environment. Join us to learn more about how data-driven strategies can help you gain a better understanding of your Medical Affairs activities and provide insights into areas of opportunity.
Medical Affairs plays a critical strategic role in product launches, through scientific knowledge, clinical expertise and cross-functional collaboration. Comprehensive research of international product launches, with an objective set of criteria, has shown that less than 10% of recent launches were excellent. This research has also revealed that two key dimensions, unmet need and product differentiation, have the highest influence on launch success, and enabled the definition of four clear launch archetypes. The launch archetypes help to identify critical success factors (CSFs) to develop the most effective launch strategy, and facilitate launch planning. The CSFs also highlight the key areas where Medical Affairs can make the highest strategic impact to support product success and improve patient outcomes.
Through review of launch archetypes, product launch case studies and MAPS launch excellence guidelines, this webinar will examine, based on the prevailing pre-launch situation, the strategic focus areas for Medical Affairs teams to consider during launch preparation and discuss approaches to achieve excellence across key activities.
