A picture is worth a thousand words! Audiovisual content is essential for helping you connect the dots for at least four great reasons: 1️⃣ Instant connection: Audiovisual content thrives in a world where the most valuable currency is people's attention. 2️⃣ Emotional engagement: All the words in the dictionnary will never evoke the countless nuances of the human experience as powerfully as audiovisual. 3️⃣ Cross-cultural reach: Audiovisual content transcends language barriers and broadens its impact to a global audience. 4️⃣ Long-lasting impression: If images resonate with you, they get imprinted in your memory more vividly than any words. Seeing and hearing patients describe their stories in their own words creates a more genuine understanding of their experience. ⏯ If you can empathize with the patient, the content is more likely to resonate with you and leave a long-lasting impression. #PharmaMarketing #Insights #Healthcaremarketing #patientcentricity #healthcare #marketresearch #peasinthepod #audiovisualimpact

The ART of simplifying 🎨 Analyzing, interpreting & communicating effectively is still a challenge: Making sense of large volumes of data from multiple sources; drawing connections between seemingly unrelated concepts; considering contextual and cultural differences etc. A blend of skills and creativity that makes it an artful process requiring sensitivity, empathy and emotional intelligence. Like painting, you go on a journey from framing the topic, navigating complexity and chaos towards clarity and focus. First broad strokes outline the basic composition, then deep dive into each detail to refine structure and layer nuances. Eliminating the unnecessary and enhancing the essential. There are four main steps to our process of simplifying: 1️⃣ Understanding Einstein said "If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” The first step is providing clarity on the context and the territory we are exploring. 2️⃣ Distillation Once we have a broad understanding of the topic at hand, we can filter out the non-essential details while retaining core ideas. Distillation requires careful thought to ensure nothing important is lost in the process. 3️⃣ Balancing Balancing between simplicity and accuracy is key. Oversimplification can lead to misleading or incomplete information, while overly complex explanations can obscure the main points. 4️⃣ Iteration Simplifying often involves multiple iterations of refinement. It requires reviewing, revising, and testing explanations to ensure they effectively convey the intended message. ⏭ Simplifying is crucial for helping our audience connect the dots and engage with complex ideas. Only then, you can make informed decisions with confidence & commitment. We believe less is more, much more! #PharmaMarketing #Insights #Healthcaremarketing #LessIsMore #marketresearch #peasinthepod

Have you ever experienced a communication gap due to cultural differences? In today's interconnected world, understanding cultural background is key in communicating effectively with people. 🇨🇳 In a medical context, "zhì yǐn" (志隐) in Chinese describes patients hiding symptoms or illnesses to avoid shame and discrimination or even to protect family reputation. This may be common in some cultures where certain medical conditions are more stigmatized, but there may not be a direct equivalent in their language Recognizing and embracing cultural diversity enriches our understanding and enhances our ability to communicate respectfully and insightfully. It’s a lot more than speaking the local language — it’s about preserving meaning and understanding deep cultural implications. We believe that a multicultural perspective in interpreting global market research findings is key to unlocking unique emotional insights. ⏯ Join Us in celebrating how the incredible diversity of our world enriches the human experience! #TheHumanInsight #CulturalDifferences #MulticulturalApproach #Healthcare #GlobalInsights #MarketResearch #EmotionalInsight

What is holding prescribers back from developing genuine partnerships with pharmaceutical manufacturers? 🤔 In a post-pandemic era, where digital communication covered 90% of all interactions between pharmaceutical manufacturers and prescribers, our task was to advise on creating a branded customer portal. An initial desk research showed an overwhelming number of digital initiatives. So, what did end-users think of these platforms? The harsh truth: they did not think anything of them because they mostly ignored their existence. Those who knew about them, they only visited them once and never went back. ❗ Further investigation uncovered a number of issues with the current offering. Reading between the lines, we soon realized these were post-rationalized arguments covering up an underlying sense of mistrust, a historical skepticism, about the pharmaceutical industry's intentions.🔍 To foster a future of collaboration, we must first address these five sabotaging beliefs: 1️⃣ Bias in Pharma-Sponsored Content: Pharma-sponsored content may be biased towards promoting products rather than providing valuable medical information. ➡ This perception undermines the potential for pharmaceutical companies to be seen as credible sources of scientific knowledge. 2️⃣ Profit Over Patients: Pharma companies prioritize sales and profits over the well-being of patients. ➡ This view challenges the foundation of trust and partnership, making it difficult for prescribers to see pharma companies as allies in patient care. 3️⃣ Transactional Relationships: The shift towards digital communication may have turned meaningful interactions into impersonal transactions. ➡ This diminishes the sense of genuine collaboration, leaving prescribers feeling undervalued and disconnected. 4️⃣ Inadequate Communication Customization: Pharma communications are not adequately tailored to prescribers' specific needs and contexts, feeling too generic or irrelevant. ➡ This lack of personalization can prevent meaningful engagement and understanding. 5️⃣ Short-term focus: Pharma companies have to focus on short-term gains, such as quarterly sales targets, at the expense of long-term investments in innovation and relationship building with healthcare providers. ➡ This short-term focus can make it hard for prescribers to view pharma companies as committed, long-term partners in healthcare. ⏭ How can we dismantle these lingering misconceptions and build trustful, long-term partnerships? #PharmaMarketing #Insights #Healthcaremarketing #healthcare #marketresearch #peasinthepod #disconnects

Why is it so difficult for pharma to secure drug reimbursement on their terms? There is a clear disconnect between manufacturers and payers' perspectives on what is the real value of a new medicine. But why is that? Pricing and reimbursement decisions may not fully consider the impact of disease on patients’ lives. But why? Below we have delved into the five potential reasons behind this critical issue: 1️⃣ Limited Data Availability. Decisions heavily rely on clinical evidence, focusing on measurable outcomes like survival rates and symptom reduction. Clinical trials cannot capture all aspects of a patient’s experience, such as daily quality of life, mental health, and social functioning. A critical aspect in rare diseases where limited patient data often leads to reimbursement rejections or strict conditions. 2️⃣ Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Methodologies. HTAs focus on clinical evidence, ignoring broader patient-reported outcomes. The QALY metric (Quality Adjusted Life Years), assessing cost-effectiveness, is subjective and influenced by socio-economic factors, often sidelining important patient experience aspects. 3️⃣ Economic Focus Over Comprehensive Patient Impact. Economic evaluations can overshadow non-clinical aspects such as emotional and social health impacts. In rare diseases, general Quality of Life (QoL) tools fail to persuade payers, not considering patient experiences holistically. 4️⃣ Regulatory and Policy Constraints. Regulatory frameworks can restrict the scope of data considered in reimbursement decisions. Policies may explicitly limit the use of qualitative data or enforce economic thresholds prioritizing short-term cost control vs. long-term patient well-being. 5️⃣ Short-term vs. Long-term Cost Considerations. Reimbursement decisions prioritize short-term clinical outcomes, overlooking long-term patient benefits. Payers tend to look at costs on a short-to-mid-term perspective, typical for health insurances, which have to set and defend premiums on a yearly basis. ⏭ Stay tuned for our upcoming posts and let’s work together to bring clarity to the critical disconnects of the healthcare industry. #HealthcareEconomics #Reimbursement #PricingDecisions #HealthcareDisconnects #HealthcareSeries #PatientAccess #HealthcareFinance #InnovationInHealthcare

Why are patients often feeling disconnected from prescribers ❓ Often when we talk to patients, it’s evident their experiences are broader and more complex than what their treating specialists 'the prescribers' might see. While they strive to treat medical conditions effectively, they might not fully grasp the day-to-day realities of the sufferer. As we delve into better understanding this issue, we have identified five possible reasons - mostly out of their control - why this may be the case. 1️⃣ Systemic Time Constraints: Healthcare systems are saturated and pressured to maximize efficiency. This translates into shorter appointment times, leading doctors to rush through consultations, limiting the time they have to listen thoroughly, empathize, and engage deeply with each patient's unique needs. 2️⃣ Training and Emphasis on Clinical Outcomes: Medical training is heavily focused on diagnostic skills, technical knowledge, and clinical outcomes. While these are crucial, there can be insufficient emphasis on communication skills and emotional empathy. This gap might prevent doctors from being fully equipped to handle the emotional and subjective experiences of their patients, making patients feel misunderstood. 3️⃣ Cultural and Language Barriers: In multicultural societies, differences in language, cultural norms, and communication styles between patients and doctors can lead to misunderstandings. Patients may feel their personal, cultural, or social contexts are not fully appreciated by their healthcare providers, which affects how they perceive the care they receive. 4️⃣ The Influence of Technology and Bureaucracy: The increasing use of technology in healthcare, such as electronic health records, can sometimes detract from the human interaction between doctors and patients. Doctors often need to divide their attention between the patient and the computer screen, which can make patients feel neglected or unheard. Additionally, bureaucratic demands for documentation and procedure can depersonalize the consultation process. 5️⃣ Patient Expectations and Doctor-Patient Power Dynamics: Patients often come with expectations about what their visit should entail, which may include a desire for more dialogue, validation, and support than what is provided. The inherent power dynamics in doctor-patient interactions can also make patients feel vulnerable and less capable of expressing their needs or disagreements, contributing to feelings of being misunderstood. So we are left wondering, is it possible to better balance the demands of efficiency and technology with the essential need for empathy and communication in patient care? ⏭ Stay tuned as we venture into breaking down more of these critical disconnects in our next posts. #PatientCare #Healthcare #DoctorPatientRelationship #MarketResearch
