| April 2012 Research Alert
This month we've added seven new studies to the Best Practice Database. Four of the seven new studies deal with the quality function at medical device organizations, two studies present an updated perspective of the U.S. hospital marketplace for pharmaceutical sales forces and the last document explores the roles and emerging trends in pharma clinical operations.
A new report was also published in April that reviews how pharma organizations are building and executing successful Risk Evaluation & Mitigation Strategy (REMS) programs for products in the U.S. marketplace. The new Best Practices, LLC studies listed below under Newly Added Research explore how leading companies have made their operations more effective across these different areas.
New Research Capabilities for Database
The Best Practice Database recently upgraded its search capabilities to include a Global Management Navigator tool that allows users to quickly and easily locate research that has European, Emerging Markets, or other regional perspectives and relate it to a functional or operational topic like marketing. The new search tool is under the Advanced Search link on the Best Practices, LLC home page. To try the new tool, click here .
