Considerations for Globalization of Medical Information Services: A Service Partner Perspective

This poster details the considerations for globalizing medical information (MI) services. Traditionally, pharmaceutical companies began in one geographical region before expanding, but evolving regulations and research priorities for rare diseases, oncology/hematology, immunology, and cell and gene therapy have led to simultaneous global regulatory filings.  

To streamline operations and maintain control, these companies partner with global MI contact center service providers and follow key recommendations. Based on EVERSANA’s experience as a global MI service provider supporting companies moving from product commercialization in only one country/region to multiple regions (either European companies bringing products to U.S. or vice versa), we compiled a robust list of recommended approaches. These include but are not limited to understanding regional regulatory strategies, standardizing procedures, leveraging MI databases, tailoring services to customer preferences, and addressing language and labelling differences.
