Data Strategy & Analytics in Medical Affairs. Think your company has a solid strategy? Think again.
“The winners will be those organizations that succeed in positioning their science— especially their ability to combine, analyze, and interpret disparate datasets—to inform their interactions with stakeholders and ultimately improve patient outcomes. This will involve real world evidence (RWE), electronic medical records (EMR) and novel sources of data such as genomics in combination with innovative ways of mining and interpreting that data.” McKinsey 1
As Medical Affairs strategies become more integrated with drug development phases, the underlying foundation of data and analytics is increasingly important. For some companies who harness the power of data, analytics, AI and machine learning, this elevation is a welcomed paradise – but for other companies, undertaking the data iceberg can be an illusive task.
It is essential to string together the key data sources – such as evidence generation, RWE, patient data and EMR, as well as new platforms such as genomics – all creating the powerful foundation of data within Medical Affairs strategies. This is where partnering with data experts can yield bountiful medical affairs results.
