As pharma companies find it more difficult to connect with physicians and KOLs, advances and access to technology have opened doors for bio-pharmaceutical companies to adapt and enhance new processes and tools for superior performance and gain competitive edge in the market. Thus, the iPad has become a popular tool for many bio-pharmaceutical companies. However, implementing the iPad requires effective planning, resources and training in order to make a successful investment.


Best Practices LLC's study identifies the best practices and measures effectiveness for successful deployment of iPads to Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs). This study investigates how Medical Affairs functions in pharmaceutical companies are using iPads with their MSLs.

Study Snapshot

This study engaged 25 leaders from 18 companies; all participants share leadership and oversight of Medical Science Liaison (MSL) groups at their companies.

Key topics include:

  • Training
  • Content Delivery and Usage
  • Syncing Tablets with CRM Systems
  • Security and Compliance Concerns
  • Measuring Effectiveness
  • Challenges and Best Practices

Sample Key Findings

Proper Planning for Content Delivery and Usage:
    • Companies should develop a content management strategy prior to device deployment. About 50% of respondents faced barriers related to content development and availability after roll-out to MSLs. Some of the top vendors that create software/applications/content: Veeva, OpenQ, Steeprock and Box.
    • Presentation quality is vital to success in using iPads. 33% of the respondents which achieved ROI noted data presentation as a key factor.
    • While 92% of MSLs used iPads to present data to KOLs, only 12% receive training on presentation skills. Reducing this gap should have improve the effectiveness of MSL presentations.

Improving Call Quality:
  • The training format used can play a crucial role in shaping the call quality that MSLs will have when using the iPads. 27% of participants that reported great improvement in call quality employed a combination of live-in-class and home study. Other companies mainly used distance learning.
