Dust Off Your Scientific Communication Platforms: Updating, Implementing, and Operationalizing Them for Success

/in , , , , , , , /by

Objectives:

The Scientific Communication Platform (SCP) is the foundation of a strong medical communications strategy for a pharmaceutical product or device, and serves as an important tool to align communications and messaging across functional areas. Even minor discrepancies in cited data and/or the way that data are described can lead to confusion and weaken a product’s overall value proposition. The SCP is based on scientific evidence and requires an in-depth analysis and review of available and anticipated data, the disease and competitive landscape, stakeholder perceptions, and aspirations about the product profile. Since the final SCP output ensures accurate and consistent language and referencing through all communication activities, putting a plan in place to ensure successful cross-functional and regional implementation and utilization of this valuable resource is critical.

After completing this Webinar, participants will be better able to:

  • • Ensure understanding of the basic components and processes involved in the development of a scientific communication platform (SCP)
  • • Understand how to develop and/or update an SCP so that the scientific and value narratives are integrated
  • • Learn how to train and implement an SCP across functional teams
  • • Glean insights into tailoring a global SCP to a regional SCP
  • • Understand the challenges of metricizing an SCP and practical solutions for measuring effectiveness

Real World Data: Unlocking Valuable Insights Throughout the Lifecycle

/in , , , , , , , /by

Objectives:

Real world data (RWD), when captured and analyzed, produces the Real-World Evidence (RWE) that underpins the economic case for innovative medicines. Furthermore, RWD can inform the understanding of disease, help identify new therapeutic intervention points, and improve the efficiency of research and development (R&D), especially clinical trials. Unlocking the potential of any promising tool like RWD is not free from challenge and its full potential has yet to be realized. This Webinar aims to provide practical insight into the challenges surrounding RWD and RWE generation with interactive conversation on how individual companies are approaching these challenges.

By participating in this Webinar and/or the subsequent workshop at the MAPS EMEA 2018 Annual Meeting, attendees will be better able to:

  • • Understand the full spectrum of challenges around the use & integration of RWD & RWE including data availability, reliability, quality of data sources, the cost of data acquisition and integration, and acceptance by key stakeholders
  • • Realize the full opportunity of RWE throughout the product life-cycle supporting all cases from clinical research, pre-regulatory approval and post-approval.
  • • Understand the limitations of RWE, including patient confidentiality, data quality and accessibility, and how they can be overcome
  • • Use this evidence effectively and within frameworks defined by regulators at a country or regional level
