Dear Intellus Worldwide Community,

It goes without saying that we are in the midst of an unprecedented time. We want to express our empathy and respect for the healthcare community of providers and manufacturers that have risen to the challenge. We are humbled by their selfless dedication. Please know that we are here to support our insights and analytics community in any way we can. 

In the US, we have joined forces with Insights Association and QRCA to advocate for governmental assistance for small businesses. Globally, we will continue collecting data from various sources to provide ongoing information and guidance on market research feasibility during this challenging time.  Our next statement with the latest data from HCPs and patients participating in market research will be sent out this week.  

If you are interested in getting more involved by joining a committee, presenting a webinar, or want to give feedback on needed resources, please connect with Heidi Boyle.
 
We are in this together,

Advocacy
EphMRA & Intellus Worldwide's Classification Committee prepares the annual guidelines for the ATC Drug Classification System and manages new entries, changes and improvements in consultation with pharmaceutical manufacturers. Most (if not all) drug-level, secondary databases follow this system. A meeting is held each year to preserve harmonization (where possible) between the World Health Organization and the EphMRA/Intellus system. Intellus maintains a permanent seat on the committee to ensure US manufacturers are represented in decisions.   View the 2020 ATC Guidelines
