How emc market access supports Pharma
A smart submission tool for your product information
It is essential to list your products on the dm+d database to ensure they are prescribed and dispensed by the NHS via the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS).
The dm+d submission tool is trusted by leading organisations for submitting and updating products to this database, as well as offering audit & tracking capabilities.
Supply chain Product Information Management (PIM) platform
It is crucial to share product information with stakeholders such as wholesalers and the NHS, but also to do this safely and efficiently.
emc market access's supply chain platform streamlines your internal processes, enabling cross-team collaboration and a sustainable way to manage this information throughout the supply chain.
The supply chain platform also ensures you have a safe way to share this information, minimising the cyber security risks which come with sharing information over channels such as email.
Browse the dm+d and supply chain databases
Pharma needs to understand and look up the NHS dm+d database to ensure products are listed correctly and also to gain competitor intelligence, such as changes in pricing. It is also important to use a single source of truth for sharing comprehensive product information with other stakeholders throughout the supply chain.
The emc market access solution (emc med data) includes an intuitive browser to simplify these tasks and track products or suppliers of interest on the dm+d database and emc supply chain database.

-
Pharma enters product pack information into the submission tool
-
The platform enriches and standardises product information, including data from emc and the dm+d databases

Stakeholders access the product information via emc med data, an automated API or Pharma can extract a file and send via email
