When you go to a five-star restaurant, it’s usually the chef’s culinary expertise that makes the experience truly memorable. For hospitals, having the best physicians on staff is also essential to serving up excellent care.

In today’s competitive landscape, the more information healthcare staffers have about physicians seeking job opportunities, the more proactive they can be in attracting the most talented doctors to their teams. Traditional web analytics only provide aggregate data—no specifics—leaving viable leads to turn cold. DMD’s Audience Identity Manager^SM (AIM) platform can provide an important advantage.

Health system CEOs have a substantial undertaking. Given the current spirit of the holiday season, you might compare a CEO to a certain jolly fellow in the North Pole and the great responsibility that accompanies his role.

Of course, Santa’s advantage is that he has all those extra helpers. If you’ve ever seen Elf or a similar holiday movie, you know his elves are efficient, productive, and happy. To quote Will Ferrell’s character, “Smiling’s my favorite.” And, elves are always aligned in mission—something not always possible for hospital marketing and healthcare staffing departments, given their varying responsibilities.

Holiday shopping can be a weary process. Think of how much easier it would be if you could view, in real time—like a fly on the wall, the items your family members were browsing online for their own wish lists? 

That's something healthcare staffing professionals have been asking of Santa for years—to be able to identify, on an individual level, the physicians currently viewing online job posts even if they do not complete an application or set up a profile. Thankfully, the jolly ol' fellow has come through.

As regulatory changes drive budget considerations for pharmaceutical companies, medical marketing agencies are feeling the pinch in their financial relationships with their pharma clients. The days of percentage-based contracts are long gone and even secure retainer agreements are trickling off in favor of more transparent methods of compensation.

The Affordable Care Act is driving wholesale change for the pharmaceutical industry, requiring new approaches to strategic marketing and product life cycle management. Prescribing decisions, previously left largely in the hands of practitioners, are now shared by other financial stakeholders such as payers and healthcare administrators. The growth of new healthcare delivery models, like accountable care organizations (ACOs), is accentuating this trend.

Three Ways Email Marketing Can Drive More Customer Interactions

The past decade was rough on pharmaceutical reps. Drug companies slashed their sales forces; in 2006, a watershed year, the industry lost more than 60,000 sales jobs, reducing the U.S. pharmaceutical sales sector by more than 60 percent in the last decade. Today, there are only about 80,000 drug reps in the United States. On the provider side, the number of physician no-sees jumped from one in five in 2009 to almost one in two in 2014.
