The healthcare landscape is undergoing a significant transformation with the rise of Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs), now employing nearly 70% of U.S. physicians. As IDNs become more prevalent, they bring numerous advantages, such as enhanced physician collaboration across specialties, increased operational efficiencies and improved patient care outcomes.
IDNs not only centralize their purchasing efforts but also develop and control their own drug formularies. Consequently, the traditional methods of launching new therapies, such as relying on field teams and media advertising, are no longer sufficient. Today’s strategies must be multi-faceted, addressing the opportunities and challenges presented by the IDN model.
Brand teams now face a complex decision-making process involving multiple stakeholders beyond just prescribers. Field teams must engage with a diverse range of stakeholders within IDN systems, necessitating a comprehensive approach that extends beyond simple brand promotion. They must ensure that prescribers are well-informed about new medications and existing therapies, supporting them in making informed decisions that enhance patient care and streamline healthcare delivery.
In this new article, Greg Skalicky, Krista Pinto and Faruk Abdullah explore actionable recommendations for pharma brand teams to optimize their engagement strategies within the evolving IDN landscape and discuss how EVERSANA’s commercialization model covers all the bases for successful IDN engagement.
