The legislation affecting the healthcare industry is always evolving, especially when there is a change in administration.  For pharmaceutical training and sales leaders keeping abreast of the news, deciphering how it impacts their customers, and then updating/delivering pharmaceutical business acumen training and medical device business training to sales teams on these changes in a timely fashion is a daunting task.

When it comes to training, keeping content updated often falls second to creating new content related to products or sales process. Completing an extensive review and inventory of your content can help – identify content that is likely to be affected with this change in administration.  Identify where you have information on CMS rulings, government policies, Affordable Care Act, Medicare, price transparency, HIPAA, payment rules, etc. so that when changes are announced you have a game plan of what to update.

Trends To Watch

  • Prioritization of mental health
  • The need for customer engagement to maintain/grow business

Medical Device Related

  • Reduced number of elective procedures resulting in less devices used
  • Continued shift towards value-based care when dealing with organization device-related contracts
