do you pick up trash?
Hi Reader,
One hundred seventy seven
was the number of cans and bottles I could count on the roadside this morning on my bike commute.
Corresponding to an average of 5 beverage containers per kilometer on the way to the office.
Since September, I have decided to pick up the litter as much as possible, in the hope to improve the situation.
Picking up empty bottles, I started to realize to the fullest the contribution of cleaning to quality.
In databases too, cleaning is essential: rubbish in is rubbish out.
You need clean data for correct use and insights.
This may sound obvious, but in a recent analysis, comparing official public prices in the official (SAM) e-prescription database to APB prices, we found out that in more than 5% of cases the public price is different from APB or lacking.
Knowing that SAM public prices are used in e-prescription software, it is a quite important point of attention to pharmaceutical companies.
Moreover, a correct price on the BCFI/CBIP website does not guarantee a correct price in the prescription software, as homologated software has to use SAM as the official source.
And the same holds true for prescription names, codes, reimbursement context and many other aspects of an actual drug package on the market.
As a pharmaceutical company, you can verify and correct your data through the public SAM viewer: https://samviewer.digile.be.
Maybe you sometimes get lost in the information and don't know precisely how to notify errors on SAM data?
Do you want to learn more about how your medicines are displayed in e-prescription software, and correct potential errors?

Hi Reader, “We sometimes feel like a helpdesk”, the market access manager confessed, ‘but it’s mission impossible to keep track of all label extensions, changes to reimbursement criteria and upcoming launches for every possible competitor’. And she continued: “During holiday periods or with staff turnover, we get particularly stressed to keep track of all the information, stored in multiple Excel spreadsheets that need to be permanently updated and exchanged between colleagues”. Is continuity...
Hi Reader, "Hi, can we plan for a Farmaneut demo?" Farma-what? Farma-neut? As I started to visualize this new type of unhappy and somewhat grumpy medical professional, a wave of doubt made its way through my body. But soon thereafter, a warm feeling of thriving ambition made its way back to me, producing a big smile on my face. We love our customers for their enthusiasm but far underestimated their creativity. When developing market intelligence software, we felt like astronauts exploring...
Hi Reader, Do you remember the days you were buildling houses in Lego bricks? Building the house of your dreams, but then getting frustrated as you couldn't find that specific 3-dotted thin brick you needed according to plan? Of having to start it all over because you skipped that one crucial step? Or did you prefer to play around, ignoring any provided plan? And now, as an adult? Do you build your dream house brick by brick, working yourself to blood sweat and tears? Or do you consult an...
