A comprehensive survey was conducted across over 300 affiliate offices (aka country offices/LOCs) during June-August 2023. Participants responded to questions covering the use of systems across nine individual RIM areas including submission forecast and planning, product registration management, health authority (HA) commitment management, HA interactions, local label management, submission content management, submission archiving, regulatory intelligence, and promotional materials. The session will have three presentations, each by a member of the survey's core research team covering aspects of the study results to share the specific needs and challenges of affiliate offices and how to better address country-level challenges in RIM programs and in ongoing operations.
Learning Objective : - Understand the affiliates' perspective on how they can be better supported within their functions
- Identify key barriers for collaboration and engagement with headquarters
- Identify opportunities to improve process and system efficiencies
