Executing superior HCP Engagements: How automation can transform your customer relationship management.

In today’s dynamic Life Sciences industry, there are technological, market and demographic changes all affecting the experiences Healthcare Professionals and Organizations have when engaging with pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. In an era of growing regulatory requirements, transparently managing and developing these relationships is vital to commercial success.

With fewer HCPs entering the market and an ever-widening array of communication options available, cultivating these engagements is crucially important — and executives need the kind of tools up to the challenge. They need coordinated cross-channel strategies to facilitate and automate engagement, and adaptable tools that make this possible.

A multifaceted commercial strategy leveraging both in-person as well as digital touch points is the key to facilitating these relationships. Tools that fail to focus on the HCP experience put companies at a competitive disadvantage. All too often, compliance, medical, sales and marketing teams may find themselves working with solutions that lack point-to-point continuity or cannot be effectively accessed across silos, and that are neither informed by nor facilitate objective-shaping data.

A commercial strategic solution that doesn’t gather and analyze data is only doing half the job. The orchestration of how a Life Sciences company engages with any individual HCP should be predicated on analytics that pull together data points gleaned from customer relationship management, clinical trials, promotional and marketing activities.

When combined with predictive analytics, this bevy of data can provide meaningful guidance for manufacturers who need to know:

  • What kind of content individual HCPs will be most receptive towards
  • Which communication channels to use and
  • When messages should be communicated

Since the ultimate goal is to execute more effective HCP engagements, Life Sciences companies need to adopt a comprehensive strategy that integrates mission-critical business processes and rules. Increasing automation enables compliance and commercial stakeholders to achieve more efficient resource utilization and more consistent, effective HCP engagements.

Unlike piecemeal tools or silo-centric applications, an integrated offering needs to include communication tactics embedded within a framework that addresses compliance issues like fair market value, transparency reporting, and on-going risk monitoring.
