Data is collected from a panel of wholesalers, distributors and pharmaceutical manufacturers representing 90% of the pharmaceutical market and projected to a national total.
  • National Prescription Audit (NPA): The industry standard source for national pharmaceutical prescription activity, NPA measures demand in terms of dispensed prescriptions to consumers across three unique pharmacy channels: retail, mail service, and long-term care. IQVIA collects new and refilled prescription data daily from sample pharmacies covering 93% of outpatient prescription activity, and projects this information to create a national estimate for all products, therapeutic classes and manufacturers.
  • Xponent: Provides detailed prescriber level prescription information for the U.S., including dispensed drug prescription information from retail pharmacies (chain, mass merchandisers, independent, and food stores), mail service pharmacies, and long-term care facilities. It covers 93% of the retail channel and up to 77% coverage in the mail and LTC channels using a customized and patented projection methodology to generate accurate market estimates at a state, zip code or individual prescriber level.
  • National Disease and Therapeutic Index (NDTI): A compilation of patterns and treatment of disease during patient encounters with office-based physicians, NDTI data includes prescriber, patient, product, and diagnosis variables with up to 72 months of history. Information is collected from a statistically representative sample of prescribers and projected to create a national estimate. Frequently used in the analysis of drug regimens, on or off-label prescribing, patient/physician characteristics and Rx/Sales allocation.
  • ChannelDynamics: This data captures sales force detailing across multiple channels, including office and hospital contacts, sampling, and professional journal advertising. Data are collected though methodologies unique to each channel and projected to a national estimate with up to 72 months of history.
