Accenture – New Research Into HCPs and Pharma Companies

Laura Dix, Managing Director in  Accenture’s Life Sciences Strategy and Consulting practice in London, UK,  discusses new research titled The “New” Rules of Engagement, which examined how pharmaceutical companies can give healthcare providers (HCPs) new and meaningful interactions. The report, which surveyed 720 HCPs across the U.S. and five additional countries, reveals how pharma companies can rethink their relationship with providers to positively impact treatment decisions and lead to better outcomes by gaining time, trust and influence.
