Best Practices develops Pharmaceutical Launch Excellence Services

The launch landscape for new pharmaceutical products has shifted dramatically, with physician access and payer influence two of the biggest changes facing launch teams. At the same time, the pressure for successful new products has never been greater with the pharmaceutical industry facing pipeline deficits, patent expirations and increasing development costs.

In this challenging new launch environment, Best Practices, LLC has developed the Pharmaceutical Launch Excellence Services that consolidates the research and consulting firm's best launch research into a service that delivers hundreds of best practices, narratives and metrics around the issue of new product launch.

Through this service, launch leaders have access to current benchmarks and insights on the critical elements of a new product launch, including:

• Investment levels for 12 vital launch activities and how much organizations are spending on each activity at key points pre-launch and at launch.
• Launch leaders' perspectives on the current and future risk levels for an array of pitfall factors that can affect a launch, including patient and payer pitfalls as well as physician and regulatory stumbling blocks.
• An examination of dozens of new product planning developmental activities that highlights each activity in terms of timing during the development process, intended outcomes and value for the organization.

This information and more has been consolidated into the Pharmaceutical Launch Excellence Services, a comprehensive database, report and solution service that provides valuable insights and data that launch executives can use to ensure a strong market entry for new products.
