Future-proofing HCP Engagement: 4 priorities and 4 strategies.

Transition your customer engagement strategies to better meet the evolving needs of physicians and patients and drive more effective and productive interactions in the evolving healthcare landscape.

The Future of HCP Engagement Insights Report.

Driving your brand performance amidst budget cuts to reach an overwhelmed customer base requires a fresh look at the way you go to market. Are you evolving the role that MSLs, sales reps, omnichannel engagement and patient support programmes play to meet the needs of HCP and patients when and how they want?  

Inizio Engage commissioned an independent market research report looking to understand what the future of HCP and patient engagement will look like, engaging 22 global Pharma leaders situated in Europe from a total of 12 pharmaceutical companies.   

We then shared these insights with workshop attendees at industry conferences and gained real-time feedback on the investment and progress of this transformation. 

While you’ll be very familiar with the trends dominating conversations, we believe it’s critical to continue interrogating where organizations really are on the customer engagement transformation journey. 

A snapshot of the report.

Non-promotional, MSL-led scientific engagement.

84% of pharma leaders surveyed identified investment in non-promotional, MSL-led scientific engagement is critical or very important. 

The transformation of the sales rep.

58% of EU, 69% of US leaders surveyed are transforming the role of the sales rep to develop more scientifically informed partnerships with HCPs. 

MSLs should be enabled to leverage data insights and technology.

“If I had to hire someone, I need someone that has good communication, interpersonal skills. I mean, that’s MSL 101. I think they need to be strategic, more business minded than they are now.” 

Omnichannel engagement is increasingly preferred by HCPs.

“Rather than trying to take reps that have been doing it face-to-face for the last 20 years, who are quite happy doing it that way. I think the easiest bridge to the future is to create a new entirely digital role.”
