Mini Summit XXIV: Evolving Risks and Opportunities related to Medical Affairs, e.g. Professional Medical Education, Digital Information, etc.

The Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Industry is rapidly pivoting to be patient-centric and quickly assess vast volumes of data from numerous sources to assist physician and patients make informed decisions. To meet these challenges companies are upgrading and expanding their medical affairs teams. Medical affairs is best positioned to generate and present critical scientific knowledge to the key stakeholders. Especially as the industry focuses more on specialty products and rare diseases, medical affairs is best positioned to holistically pull together scientific and clinically relevant results regarding patient outcomes, relevant health economics, patient safety at all stages of the product life cycle. The rapid growth of proactive and deeper relationships with not only prescribers but also the broader patient/patient advocacy community also leads to new areas of risk. These risks include privacy, data security, transparency, value based care, bias in publications, charitable giving and reimbursement support to name a few. There exists a tension among these trends. Customer-facing and proactive informational efforts can look commercial in nature.
