The trend towards medical information globalization is clear, but the path and final product can look different for each organization. The results from a survey of several biopharmaceutical companies show us why companies decide to globalize, how they approach this process, and key components to a successful shift towards a global medical information department. We will then see some of these key learnings in action as one company shares their globalization journey.

Learning Objective :
  • Describe current trends in medical information globalization in areas including infrastructure, aspects of department globalization, and the use of technology
  • Compare various models of globalization
  • Discuss the value of globalization in regards to the company, the department, and the patient
  • Recognize key challenges associated with globalization and best practices for overcoming them
