The role of the Medical Information department and the part it plays within a pharmaceutical company is critical to the company’s success. It is one of the core business functions. Yet it is often called upon to demonstrate its value and prove the enhanced efficiencies it can bring: such as providing actionable insights, meeting compliance requirements and providing quality customer service.
This webinar will explore the changing face of Medical Information departments. We will discuss the systems being employed and the importance of these being function-specific and efficient, and look at how the size and focus of the company, whether it’s a small regional start-up, affiliate or global pharma, will also dictate how medical information is handled.
