Synopsis

Medical Affairs has expanded its activities, interaction channels and capacity to generate scientific knowledge. However, many organisations still assess its contribution mainly through volume metrics: numbers of interactions, meetings, projects or recorded insights. These metrics describe what was done, but they do not explain what changes as a result.

This presentation introduces a practical model to structure and make visible the contribution of Medical Affairs through four connected levels: Activity → Quality → Transfer → Contribution to Impact.

The model addresses four questions: What do we do? How relevant and rigorous is the work? How is the generated knowledge used internally? Which decisions, capabilities or changes does it contribute to? The session will apply this architecture to three particularly relevant areas: scientific conversations with healthcare ecosystem stakeholders, insight generation and activation, and cross-functional collaboration.

Using anonymised industry examples, the presentation will examine common failure points: confusing volume with value, collecting insights without a strategic question, measuring quality without shared criteria, reporting results without traceability, and attributing to Medical Affairs outcomes that depend on multiple functions. In response, it will propose a balanced combination of quantitative indicators, qualitative evidence and contribution narratives.

Participants will receive a diagnostic framework to review their current metrics, identify gaps between activity and decision, and build a more credible value story. The proposal is educational, independent and non-promotional, and is relevant to Medical Affairs professionals and the functions that collaborate with them across the medicine lifecycle.
