The effectiveness of the individual sales campaigns, as a result, goes down. Management of the resources we currently have are not optimal. Do the samples go to the right physicians? Sit down with the sales representatives and look at the data from sales to determine what is the best approach to reaching the physicians they are working with. Digital promotions that are increasing thanks to the iPad offer a great complement to their work face-to-face sales relationships. Digital promotion does not need to destroy ... ePharma Summit blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5140261 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 23:59:00 +0100 5140261 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5062498&cid=t_351620_150_f&fid=35777&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FPharmalot%2F%7E3%2FTRHHh4wcW6g%2F Stealing prescription meds from pharmacies is not new. And probably poaching samples from a doctor’s office goes on more than some would like to admit. But the latest instance of theft involves a fellow who walked into a physician’s office in East Northport, New York, which is on Long Island, and helped himself to about $300 worth of drugs from a shelf after claiming he was a pharma sales rep. The cops note that he waltzed in around 1 pm which, of course, is lunchtime and when docs or their staffers may have a few extra minutes to schmooze. How he talked his way into the sample area is unclear. But the incident occurred back in May and, since he has not yet been apprehended, Suffolk County police are now distributing the photo seen here to local news organizations, such as News...

Microsoft’s stock dropped over 5% in one day. The headline went on to say that the main culprit was the drop in sales of the windows operating system. The largest drop was in netbook sales which were down a whopping 40%. The main reason given was the adoption of tablet computers… Specifically Apple iPads. Apple actually had larger net income figures than Microsoft. It seems like people are opting for the more convenient touch screens of a tablet computer than a laptop or netbook computer. This has certainly been the case for me. I get most all of my news and information on the iPad as well as Email, Facebook and Twitter. My old netbook hasn’t seen the light of day for months. My laptop gets occasional use, bu...

It's also a hit with physicians, and that may prove to be a boon for the adoption of EHRs. An estimated 22 percent of U.S. physicians were using iPads by the end of 2010, according to Chilmark Research analysts. In a February 2011 survey by health marketing firm Aptilon, four out of five physicians said they plan to buy an iPad this year.

But recently in the New York Times, they featured the story of Owen Cain, who suffers from motor-neuron disease. The iPad is the only device that allows Owen to interact with the world, providing a platform for him to read and express himself on his own. Can the right use of iPads create better patient experiences for patients? Have you seen any more examples like the one above?

I’m not sure if it’s an actual achievement, but hell, what started out as a joke potentially turning out to really coming to fruition is achievement in my books. But now, Team Griffin is taking their sweet time to decide between two videos on who is going to get to meet Kathy. So I’m feeling a bit bitter now, and am moving on from this. That’s not to say, when, not if they call,  I won’t be excited as all hell and the entire city of Toronto won’t be hearing me squeal like a little girl who just got her first Easyback oven, and tickets to Disneyland.
