What is market access?
Market access is the process through which companies ensure that the patients who would benefit from their assets get rapid and maintained access to them. It draws together experts in health economics, pricing, regulations, patient engagement, communications, and more.
What’s challenging about it?
Many life sciences companies are trying to make market access an integral part of their organizations. But the urgent emphasis on these roles is producing a scarcity of skilled talent for this critical function. Companies are also struggling to create efficient, streamlined processes for managing a complicated workload.
How can on-demand talent help?
A growing number of market access specialists now work independently, and can step in to help on projects that range from value proposition development to project management and operations execution. Thanks to their high expertise and low overhead, they’ve enabled market access groups to work smarter, faster, and more flexibly throughout the product development cycle.
