Top Takeaways
- What’s the leading team doing so well? The leading medical affairs team in the US is streets ahead of the chasing pack in terms of overall quality of interaction. Does this translate into a leading satisfaction score, or does another brand lead the group?
- More visits, please! The medical affairs team that physicians see most frequently visits just over three quarters of physicians, with the lowest visiting only 16% of physicians. Is this an opportunity missed? And where does your brand’s medical affairs team sit?
- But only when you’ve got something new to tell me. Despite not visiting very often it seems that medical affairs teams are visiting at the right time. What opportunities exist for teams that balance optimal timing with new information on their brands?
- Are patients the main focus, or is it something else? How much do US physicians rely on medical affairs to help them improve patient access, education and outcomes? And are they spending more or less time doing this than before?
- Information or attitude? When it comes to what physicians recommend in terms of key areas for improvement, is it information, attitude or something else? Could addressing these tip the balance?
