Facilitating Physician Access and Education Through Online Conferencing
Access to physicians is becoming more and more of a problem. Doctors need immense amounts of medical information, but their patient loads limit their ability to see pharma sales reps or attend conferences or other educational activities away from their offices at such venues as local restaurants and hotels. And it is impractical to bring KOLs and experts into the physician’s office. One way to bring these resources to physicians is through Web conferencing. This report describes MedConference, a turnkey system that is being used effectively to host 6,000 live online events per year, attended by some 300,000 physicians around the world.

Measuring Marketing Strategy
It has been said that there is only one way to test marketing: wait and see what happens. However, few pharma CEOs today would consider such a ‘watchful waiting’ approach to be appropriate. “This observation highlights an unmet need in the pharmaceutical industry,” says Mike Rea, Managing Director at IdeaPharma, a pharmaceutical marketing best practice consultancy. “While it is possible to predict and measure the effects of sales promotion by direct measures, or by modeling using surrogate measures, there are no empirical measures of the effectiveness of strategic marketing that can be used to judge effectiveness.” This article reviews Q2 Audit, a new company and an industry-standard measure of marketing effectiveness
