Customer relationship management (CRM) tools can be used effectively by field medical teams to capture and present an array of critical medical insights during interactions with healthcare practitioners. Unfortunately, many organizations utilize CRM tools that cater to commercial business needs and don’t align well with the needs of medical science liaisons and other Medical Affairs team members.

The future of CRM value for field medical teams lies in understanding how best to utilize these data management systems to not only deliver positive impact to the medical strategy but also demonstrate it effectively.

Best Practices, LLC undertook this benchmarking research to identify the key challenges and effective practices for optimizing a customer relationship management system for field medical teams. The report informs Medical Affairs leaders about current trends and applications around CRM utilization, innovative support and management for field-based medical teams.
