The Background
The Client, a small pharmaceutical manufacturer active in the U.S. market since its first product launch, engaged QPharma to evaluate its adherence to federal and state transparency regulations. The evaluation focused on assessing the company’s approach to identifying relevant activities, capturing data, mitigating errors, and refining reporting methodologies. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive review due to changes in staffing and vendors, the Client aimed to harmonize data capture across the organization and integrate industry best practices to enhance efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
The Challenge
- The Client had an informal program in place but lacked specific procedures for on-going management of the program
- The Client was concerned that data may be missing or inaccurate in its reports
- Due to staffing changes certain questions about historical reports and decisions made regarding those reports were a concern
