Biopharmaceutical Managed Care Strength Closely Intertwined with Marketplace Success

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., April 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Managed care operations in the pharmaceutical sector are rapidly growing and have emerged as essential factors for success in the U.S. healthcare marketplace. Due to this rapid growth, pharmaceutical and medical device leaders have placed an increased importance on managed care activities.

While well-planned and executed managed care activities can yield sizeable returns, leaders must adapt and constantly adjust their resource levels to suit marketplace requirements. By observing the managed care activities and resourcing of major biopharmaceutical companies in the United States, executives can assess the efficiency and effectiveness of their managed care groups.
