The market access team’s success depends on several factors including appropriate communication and dissemination of Health Care Economic Information (HCEI) and strategic account communication and collaboration.
DMH offers a variety of training programs specifically designed for Account Managers to enhance their effectiveness with internal and external colleagues. Below is a list of our most popular workshops.
This workshop includes real-world learning scenarios. (These are subtle examples of how various customer interactions play out in the learner’s world – reflect everyday situations – and how to handle those situations in an effective and ethical manner.) The scenarios may be customized to take into account a learner’s job function, companies’ brand(s), SOPs and risk areas content, unique workshops, and thought-provoking activities are customized for your organization and are delivered in a language that your access team will understand. The training curriculum has a strong emphasis on what participants can and should do. As a result, learners are empowered to engage in effective and ethical customer presentations.
Organizations create numerous written documents every day. Many of these documents are hastily written, poorly worded and may not be consistent with the laws that govern promotion. As a result, these documents may pose a significant risk for your organization. During these interactive training sessions, participants will see firsthand how their communications may be taken out of context and will learn how to write effective and ethical documents. This section includes emails and free text call note examples between the access team, field-based medical and the commercial sales organization. This workshop is designed to:

In 1997 section 114 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDAMA 114) sought to provide direction for the dissemination of Health Care Economic Information (HCEI) by drug manufacturers to formulary committees. Unfortunately, the direction was vague, and thus companies were hesitant to the extent that they could move forward without further clarification.
It took 18 years, but in May of 2015, the 21st Century Cures Act was approved, which contained a provision (Section 3037) which amended FDAMA 114 and expanded the permissible scope of drug manufacturer’s promotion of HCEI.
In the wake of the Cures Act, the FDA on January 18, 2017, released its long-await draft guidance on the proactive communication of HCEI to payors and formulary committees. The draft guidance is thorough in its scope and contains important changes that affect key stakeholders in medical affairs, HEOR, access teams, compliance and legal.
The timing of this comes at a critical point as payors are looking for real-world HCEI evidence and evidence-based value rationale from the field medical and account team. And as a result of new laws and state mandates, population health decision makers are under strict evaluation timelines evaluate their plan designs, formularies and rates 12-18 months before the beginning of the intended plan year.
Manufacturers who provide timely HCEI to Payors will have a competitive advantage.
DMH offers a variety of training programs specifically designed around the FDA’s new draft guidance. Below is a list of our most popular workshops.
This workshop is designed for the field medical and access teams.

This workshop is a good precursor to the “Delivery of Effective and Compliant HCEI Presentations to Customers” workshop.
