Advocacy
EphMRA & Intellus Worldwide's Classification Committee prepares the annual guidelines for this classification system and manages new entries, changes and improvements in consultation with pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Intellus Worldwide maintains a permanent seat on the Committee to ensure US manufacturers are represented in classification decisions.  

Intellus Worldwide manufacturer members receive opportunity to vote on all classification proposals (Spring each year). Most (if not all) drug-level, secondary databases follow the EphMRA/Intellus Worldwide classification. The WHO ATC Drug Classification System was adapted from the EphMRA/Intellus Worldwide system, and a meeting is held each year between the two Committees to preserve harmonization (where possible) between the two systems.

View our Health Literacy Resources to discover tools and understanding required to address the growing needs of patients with a variety of health literacy levels, and how to equip patients to better understand their treatments, control their own health decisions and improve outcomes.
