Pharmaceutical Companies On Defense As Post-ACA Implementation Continues

NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthLeaders-InterStudy, the leading provider of managed care market intelligence, studies the collaboration that exists among payers, providers and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) across the United States. This web of interconnectedness—which encompasses physicians, physician groups, hospitals, health systems, ACOs, health plan companies, and Managed Care Organizations (MCOs)—varies greatly from market to market. Pharmaceutical companies with granular understanding of these affiliations are better able to scope and target brand opportunities, allocate resources and create meaningful partnerships.

"Now more than ever, it is critical for pharma to know its markets--how decision-makers are aligned and who is changing the face of the local landscape via ACO formation. This is the essence of being a value partner," explains Laura Beerman, Product Manager at HealthLeaders-InterStudy, "specific, actionable knowledge will be vital—especially in situations that require quick decision-making on the move, like prepping for an account call while on the road."
