What will be the most game-changing catalyst in industry’s quest to become more patient-oriented?

I believe that giving patients access to relevant health information in channels that work best for them (in the HCP’s office, in the pharmacy, in a patient portal/EMR, at home and on the go) is critical to improving patient adherence and health. As patients shoulder more of the day-to-day cost of healthcare (high deductible plans, higher cost-share) they require both health information and affordability tools.

• Connecting sponsors to HCPs and Patients via the Largest Aggregated Provider-Patient Network

• Partnering with PDR Provides Unparalleled Access

While 60% of prescribers have little or no regular contact with pharmaceutical representatives — PDR reaches more than 1.5 million HCPs — including 800,000 prescribers and 90,000 pharmacists as well as more than 100 million patients. Improve behavior both inside and outside the prescriber’s and pharmacist’s workflow by leveraging PDR’s proprietary business rules engine, a system that processes nearly 2 billion healthcare transactions annually.
