As the function that houses the roles dealing with health outcomes, medical affairs is positioned to deliver the value and outcomes-oriented information that can influence payer decisions. But as a relative newcomer to the payer world, medical affairs leaders face many challenges in ensuring effective payer interactions, including identifying and targeting key payers, presenting critical data and deploying field resources to support meetings. At the same time, medical affairs groups are struggling to identify the optimal training requirements and effective internal coordination tactics that will ensure successful payer relationships.
