JANUARY 2020 Research Alert

This month we added four new studies to the Best Practice Database, the research repository for Best Practices, LLC. This month's new studies focus on two topical areas: Medical Affairs role in value-based healthcare and European field medical operations. The Medical Affairs studies examine the function's role in the emerging value-based healthcare system; the first document reviews the important activities, role alignment, success factors and pitfalls for value-centric Medical Affairs operations while the second study looks at collaborations and value-based contracts. The EU field medical studies, meanwhile, are focused on MSL utilization in Europe; the third document looks at field resourcing in the EU while the fourth document reviews alignment and assessment of EU field teams.
