Background
Intense competition, regulatory scrutiny, and new ways that healthcare providers access information are just a few of the challenges facing pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies.
Traditionally, thousands of sales representatives have competed for face-to-face time with healthcare providers, with only a few getting past the receptionist’s desk for only a few minutes with a physician to detail their products. New advances in internet technology, coupled with government and self-regulation, have curbed face-to-face interactions even more, and as a result, healthcare providers are turning to the internet for self-directed research.
eDetailing–the ability to detail products online–promises to increase access to clinicians by having sales reps detail during online meetings at the healthcare provider’s convenience, but traditional eDetailing has limitations.
Adobe Connect for eDetailing combines the online meeting platform from Adobe with enterprise-class managed services from Connect Solutions. The solution is a secure, private-cloud offering that integrates live chat, online meetings, and your CRM and back-end analytic systems. The results are increased clinician engagement, more effective detailing, integrated systems, and reduced costs.
