All departments are led from their headquarters in Dublin, Ireland with UK sales and marketing operations located in York, UK. Kora focus on producing medicines that treat or manage secondary conditions arising from, relating to and complicated by underlying serious, chronic and long-term diseases, medicines that treat or manage conditions related to sexual and reproductive health in both women and men and healthcare products that manage or treat common conditions that can be self-treated or managed with the assistance of healthcare professionals.
Kora’s leadership could not see which products were at which stage of the on-formulary process, or which were on formulary with each health board, hospital, trust and clinic across Ireland and the UK.
The pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated and getting new medication on formulary is detailed, labour intensive and time consuming — the process ran exclusively on paper forms, filled out, signed, scanned and emailed between parties.
Follow-ups were constant, making the process slow, repetitive and frustrating for the team. The systems of record were Outlook, Excel and Word.
