Elevate Medical Affairs Podcast Channel

In this podcast, we explore how digitally active HCPs and emerging experts can amplify the impact of scientific data presented at congresses to drive successful drug launches. Industry experts from Pfizer and Veeva discuss strategies for engaging these key influencers to optimize launch success.

Overcoming regional disparities to ensure successful IEGP development and implementation requires effective strategies for cross-functional collaboration across diverse regions and departments. In this podcast, experts explore the many challenges associated with the operationalization of global Integrated Evidence Generation Planning (IEGP) at local levels.

This podcast speaks with experts from Altmetric to delve into different methods for extracting insights to comprehend the influence of a publication on key metrics such as citations, public engagement, social impact, and internal metrics. The aim is to speed up the evaluation process to determine if publications are effectively reaching and educating the appropriate HCPs to influence their clinical decisions.

 This session takes a closer look at one of the key challenges associated with integrated evidence generation planning that was identified in our first installment. Experts share insights and practical advice on ways to identify and overcome barriers to aligning multiple functions in the development and implementation of integrated evidence generation plans to minimize risk and optimize value, accounting for medical affairs, patient, regulatory and commercial perspectives. 

Recorded at the MAPS 2024 Annual Meeting in Puerto Rico following a workshop on modular content in which all of today’s speakers were faculty.

Lead by the Digital FAWG’s Jennifer Riggins and Steve Casey, today’s panelists touch on the topic of modular content in the following areas:

1. Inspiration and Impact
2. Content Compliance & Approval
3. MSL Utilization
4. Training & Evolution
5. The Technology Stack
6. The Future of Modular Content

As the sources of data and technologies needed to make sense of data expand, opportunities exist for further integrating Real-World Evidence (RWE) and Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) alongside traditional approaches when planning data generation activities to support new product registration, access, and use. Here we speak with experts from Lumanity about the Integrated Evidence Generation Planning (IEGP) process and how to overcome the barriers to success. 

Here we speak with Kate Davies, Nurse Educator at London South Bank University and expert in clinical endocrine research focusing on genetics in short stature, clinical trials, and differences in sex development. Throughout Kate's research and work as a pediatric nurse, she has developed expertise in engaging with patient communities, often providing trusted information to these groups and also learning about the real-world experiences of patients in the context of treatment and clinical trials. Here is what a patient advocate wants Medical Affairs to know about patient engagement -- and join us at our LinkedIn discussion on this topic to ask your own questions about engaging with patients. 

Getting the most impact from a publication requires being able to define who the audience is and how to reach them, across both journals and online channels, especially in complex/niche cases. In this podcast, we’ll discuss the benefits of taking an analytical approach.

When you think about innovation in Medical Affairs, perhaps the first things that come to mind are GenAI or maybe new approaches to KOL network mapping. But what about innovation in the ways we approach the profession itself? What about innovation in how we continue to evolve our own skills and understanding of our roles in industry and beyond? Here we speak with Tim Mikelhashvili, CEO of Amedea Pharma about innovation in Medical Affairs leadership -- and innovation for leaders. We also look forward to Tim's 2024 Medical Affairs Innovation Olympics. Enter your innovative idea now or register to attend!

A PubMed search on the day this was written finds 36,735 new publications in the last 24 hours. Adding the word “oncology” narrows the number to 4,334. Substituting “lung cancer” for “oncology” results in 534 articles. How many of these do you think your HCPs and KOLs will be able to read before the next batch of publications comes out tomorrow? This is to say that publishing a scientific study or article can feel like squeezing an eyedropper into the ocean and it is the job of the publication’s team to ensure this drop-in-the-ocean has impact — especially when publishing a study with the potential to change clinical practice. Here we learn practical tips straight from the source – namely, experts at Wiley. How can you translate peer-reviewed publications to clinical impact? How can licensing extend (or perhaps restrict…) the reach of published research? How can publications be leveraged as the hub of an omnichannel approach? Listen to learn more.
