Scientific communication platforms (SCPs) help lay the groundwork for all medical and scientific communications for a drug/device or therapeutic area. While SCPs serve as an important means to align communications and value messaging across key functional areas, many organizations still lack clear processes to ensure successful development and implementation, and often scientific communication platforms are not utilized as effectively and broadly as intended.

Best Practices, LLC undertook this benchmarking research to help medical communications/publications leaders with SCP development, utilization, management, and evaluation. The study presents current practices around SCP excellence, examining which functions are involved in SCP development and how these platforms are best utilized. This report also delivers benchmarks around SCP format, location, and timing of updates.

Finally, the report highlights best practices and pitfalls encountered by biopharma and medical device companies during the initiation and development of high-impact scientific communication platforms.

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged 21 Medical leaders from 21 pharma companies in this research through a benchmarking survey. Data in this research is further segmented by mid-small vs. large companies to provide in-depth insights.

Key topics covered in this report include:

  • Development of Scientific Communication Platforms
  • Format and Location of Scientific Communication Platforms
  • Timing of Scientific Communication Platform Updates
  • Effectiveness and Faults of Scientific Communication Platforms
  • Scientific Communication Platform Maintenance and Operations
  • Access and Utilization of Scientific Communication Platforms
  • Best Practices and Pitfalls for SCP Implementation

Key Findings

Select key insights uncovered from this report are noted below. Detailed findings are available in the full report.

  • SCP Development: Medical Communications/Publications lead SCP development for 71% of participants; the same holds true for a majority of both Large and Mid-Small segments.

  • SCP Utilization: SCP utilization is measured by a majority (61%) through level of incorporation into reactive and proactive materials for FMTs. Large Pharma particularly use this measure (88%) vs. 36% for Mid-Small (of which 36% do not measure).
