Strategic Application Planning

Obtain the most value from your R&D investment. Too often communication strategies are only developed once considerable time and resources have already been invested in research and development; planning is most effective when it goes hand in hand with early R&D strategies. Planning with the end in mind is the most potent approach to achieving your ultimate objectives and BioMedCom™ can help. Strategies will be structured on your product, your objectives and your specific needs.

Global Economic Dossiers

The Global Economic Dossier (GED) provides a current, comprehensive portfolio of solid, scientifically dependable information to support the market access function for your product. Imagine having everything you need in one place and organized to be easily accessible to all employees who need this information.

The GED is developed primarily for Market Access teams with a need to transmit clear, credible information to both internal and external bodies, in support of formulary acceptance; however, it is also a useful tool for in-house research teams, providing continuity of core knowledge in therapeutic areas and a summary of in-house outcomes research. Marketing and Sales groups may use the GED as a scientific resource for marketing and training purposes, and Medical Information and Public Relations as a reliable basis for information dissemination.

The GED is individualized to your needs, the intended indication(s) of the product or technology, and the material available.

If you need a full package we can help: clinical and economic summaries, rationale for product use, justification for product listing, budget impact analysis and report, specific required forms OR…we can assist with just the part that your needs dictate.

Our submissions are intended to transmit clear, credible messages in support of a product or technology to an external decisionmaking body with as strong a scientific and economic rationale as possible based on available evidence. Our templates incorporate international guidelines for reporting of biomedical, health economic and outcomes information, as well as the specific requirements of the intended audience. Each document is supported with thorough referencing and source material for expert reviewers.

Depending on your needs, our contribution may include:
