Regulatory
Quality Approach
The quality of medical information is a major public health issue, particularly regarding the information provided to healthcare professionals about medications.
In October 2014, the LEEM (pharmaceutical industry union) and the CEPS (healthcare products economic committee) signed the new Charter for information through canvassing or prospecting aimed at promoting medications, and in March 2017 the HAS (high authority of health) published a new certification reference framework. These documents aim to guarantee the quality of information provided to healthcare professionals and to strengthen the appropriate use of medications within the scope of promotional information activities.
To ensure high‑quality communication with healthcare stakeholders, guaranteeing proper use, ethical standards, and compliance with regulations (Public Health Code, DMOS rules, and Charter) during our promotional information activities on medications entrusted to us by our client laboratories, we have implemented for several years a quality approach framed in a continuous improvement process.
As part of this approach, we define a quality policy regarding information through canvassing or prospecting aimed at promoting our medications, reviewed annually, published and known to all company employees, ensuring our commitment to comply with and apply the Charter and the Reference Framework, thereby ensuring the adequacy of our promotional information activities with ethics and regulations.
As a result, our employees engaged in promotional information activities are required to comply with this regulation and, in particular, ethical rules during each visit and in all locations when meeting with healthcare professionals.
Pharmafield Group is certified for its promotional information activity by an accredited certifying body, thus guaranteeing compliance with its commitments.
