Why Pharma Companies Should Look To Social Media For Better Patient Insight
Healthcare decision-makers, especially at pharmaceutical companies, must prioritize patient input. Data collected from social media listening is a significant step in the right direction.
The emphasis of his efforts there will be on how HIT can benefit smaller practices. According to the press release, he will focus on:
- “small practice transformation by developing innovative payment models that can better support these types of practices”
- “expanding the reach of the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Learning Network, a Brookings-Dartmouth project that provides participating organizations the tools necessary to successfully implement accountable care”
- “continuing to expand the use of secure, private, and accurate systems of electronic health record adoption and health information exchange to support better medical practice”
