This month we've added five new studies to the Best Practice Database. Two of the five new studies focus on improving organizations' approach to managing the government healthcare sector, in particular CMS. Another new document that was added to the database is a case study that uses Lipitor to illustrate how a company can maximize a product's revenues at the end of a lifecycle. The last two new database documents are 2012 updates of previous studies: one looking at how to optimize Key Opinion Leader relationships and the other looking at resource benchmarks for functions within Public Affairs.

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.
