As companies bring diverse sets of field-based medical liaisons into the field to work with physicians, payers and patients, it becomes imperative to clarify what roles each type of liaison might serve.


With the demand for scientific and medical data increasing, field-based medical teams must create strong strategies and utilize limited resources to meet the needs of thought leaders. This can be challenging as they face growing internal and external expectations regarding the types of activities and services they must provide.

Best Practices, LLC undertook this research to provide greater insights into the deployment of MSLs, Outcomes, nurse educators and their direct field-based supervisors. This study examines issues around field-based medical team staffing, activity timing, and training.

Companies Profiled:

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged 19 leaders with direct experience working in Medical Affairs. Participants represent 19 leading biopharmaceutical companies.

Key Findings

1. Time Allocation on MSL and HOL (Health Outcomes Liaison) Activities: There are gaps between expected and actual time allocation on several MSL and HOL activities. For example MSLs spend more time on the three activities than expected:

      · Administrative and reporting: 12.5% more actual time allocation than expected
      · Clinical trial support: 33% more actual time allocation than expected
      · Site identification for clinical trials: 38.5% more actual time allocation than expected

2. Medical Science Liaisons Dominate Field-Based Medical Team Staff: Ninety-five percent of the participants have MSLs in their Field-Based Medical Teams, whereas only 29% of the participants also have Health Outcomes Liaisons. On average: MSL teams are composed of 86 employees, while HOL teams are composed of 33 employees.
