Due Diligence Checklist for Healthcare
For those who work in healthcare โ patient care, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, clinical research, or life sciences โ the culmination of weeks or even years of effort is a proposal presentation. Healthcare projects that involve a due diligence process include Mergers & Acquisition (M&A), partnering agreements, licensing, and R&D that is to be presented to boards of directors and/or to potential investors.
Due Diligence โ the process of preparing the proposal presentation โ typically involves reams of paperwork, from archival files to documents generated in preparing the brief. The due diligence team, led by a program manager, has a core group that often collaborates with data analysts, lawyers, accountants and other professionals.
As with any healthcare endeavor, confidentiality is essential to adhere to regulatory guidelines. If the brief has a financial element, additional regulations come into play. And in a competitive environment, confidentiality is key to protecting proprietary information. The due diligence program manager must ensure confidentiality even when collaborating with team members in remote locations.
A Due Diligence Checklist speeds the process while ensuring confidentiality.
While the content of a Healthcare Due Diligence brief varies based on the content of the proposal, the process itself and its structure are similar. This is why ShareVault created a Due Diligence Checklist specifically for developing a brief.
