Alliance Life Sciences Survey of Pharmaceutical, Medical Device Pricing and Reimbursement Stakeholders Identifies Market Access Challenges and Successes


SOMERSET, N.J. --(Business Wire)--

Alliance Life Sciences Consulting Group (ALSCG), an innovative management and technology consultancy, announces the results of its survey that uncovers specific challenges and key success factors impacting market access for medical device and pharmaceutical companies. The results, based upon the responses from global and local stakeholders, representing a variety of industry roles in pricing, reimbursement, market access and health economics outcomes research and policy, are available in a White Paper (News - Alert): "Transformational Market Access: Why Access Fails and What the Industry Can Do to Be More Successful."



"Market access remains one of the most significant current and future challenges for the industry," says Sophie Murdoch, vice president, Consulting, ALSCG. "Spiraling drug development costs exert pressure to ensure successful and effective planning of your access strategies. With up to $5 billion in R&D costs for every successful drug launched, winning strategies are critical."

ALSCG experts analyzed survey results spanning multiple stakeholders in 38 companies - with an 86 percent response rate -- to determine the overarching challenges and key success factors. Conclusions were drawn from these results, to summarize the top three learnings on how companies can enable transformational market access to become a truly innovative organization.


"Understanding the strengths and shortcomings in your people, processes and evidence are going to be the keys to your success. Planning around these key factors will enable increased market share for your organization," advises Murdoch.
