    How to Use Modular Content & Netflix-Style Content Hubs to Engage HCPs

    How to Use Modular Content & Netflix-Style Content Hubs to Engage HCPs

    In a post-COVID world, HCPs want to access industry information through self-service content that is available anytime, anywhere — before they engage with representatives from the company. Most companies are aware of this trend. However, most industry organizations are not equipped with the modular content and online platforms needed to deliver this Netflix-like engagement. Here MAPS speaks with Bozidar Jovicevic, MD, MBA, former pharma executive, CEO and cofounder of Evermed, about best practices for gathering content (beyond simply creating it yourself!), and making content accessible in modern, personalized platforms.

    Rising stars, hidden jewels and unicorn KOLs - can we identify them and is it useful?

    Rising stars, hidden jewels and unicorn KOLs - can we identify them and is it useful?

    One of the great challenges in Medical Affairs is understanding our opinion and communication networks. Over the last few years, the diversity of stakeholders involved in communicating, advocating, treating and responding to our work has become more complex and dynamic. At the same time, communication routes have proliferated and opened, taking us away from our traditional channels. This wealth of data can be overwhelming. 


    In this podcast, Carlos Areia and Mike Taylor - two data specialists at Digital Science - discuss the ways in which Medical Affairs professionals can use this data to discover your next generation of researchers, those influencers whose voices are heard on Twitter, and how your KOLs are interacting with others online, and which publications they're discussing.

    Five Ways Medical Affairs Can Impact Clinical Change & Outcomes

    Five Ways Medical Affairs Can Impact Clinical Change & Outcomes

    The goal of all Medical Affairs activities is to improve patient outcomes. That said, until recently, we have measured our progress toward this goal by fairly distant proxy — for example, tracking the number of MSL/HCP interactions as a proxy for providing education that we hope will result in changes in clinical practice. In this episode of the MAPS podcast series, "Elevate", Ariel Katz, co-Founder and CEO of H1, provides a more linear and streamlined vision for how Medical Affairs can impact patient outcomes — and how to measure the results of our actions.
