  • VIEW TOC AND LIST OF EXHIBITS
The Medical Information function within pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies is responsible for disseminating critical and diverse information to key external stakeholders such as HCPs, payers, formulary decision makers, clinical investigators, contracted HCP speakers, and government agencies.

To increase efficiency and ensure consistency in meeting the informational needs of these stakeholders, strong Medical Information groups have developed and leverage a wide range of effective communication tools and approaches. Best Practices, LLC undertook this benchmarking research to examine how these top Medical Information teams within leading organizations disseminate on and off-label information to external stakeholders for maximum impact.

This report uncovers insights around the types of information shared with different stakeholders, effective channels used for information distribution, proactive vs. reactive sharing, and critical measures taken to protect inadvertent use of information within slide decks and other medical information assets. This report also highlights best practices in distributing slide decks to external stakeholders.

Industries Profiled:

Companies Profiled:
Abbott; AbbVie; Amicus Therapeutics; Bayer; Boehringer Ingelheim; BTG plc; CSL Behring; Depomed; Eisai; EMD Serono; Enlyton; Glenmark; GRAIL; Grifols; Jazz Pharmaceuticals; Juno Therapeutics; Medtronic; Merck; Merz Pharma; Novartis; Novo Nordisk; Pfizer; Pierre Fabre; Santen; Shire; Vifor Pharma

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged 31 medical information professionals from 26 leading companies in this benchmarking research. Research analysis and recommendations are presented into two segments: Large Companies Segment and Small-Mid Sized Companies Segment.

Key topics covered in this report include:

  • Methods of distribution used to disseminate information
  • Types of information shared with different stakeholders
  • Protection of medical information assets
  • Best practices in distributing slide decks to external stakeholders


Key Findings

Sample key insights uncovered from this report are noted below. Detailed findings are available in the full report.

1. Most Medical Information Provided to Stakeholders Reactively:
  • Medical Information groups send slide decks in a reactive manner following an unsolicited request, specifically asking for slide decks on a particular topic.
  • Off-label information is communicated reactively, typically in PDF format.
  • Slide decks may be generated to handle frequently asked questions.

2. HCPs Seen as Core Stakeholder Served, Others Growing:
  • About 75% of companies provide medical information to thought leaders, and more than half do so to clinical investigators.
  • While a minority shares information with payers and formulary decision-makers, the growing importance of these groups would suggest that the number of companies providing data will grow in upcoming years.
