Adoption and Use of eDetailing vs. In-person Detailing in Europe

Report Overview

This report provides a head-to-head comparison European physicians’ preferences for sales rep interactions and electronic detailing (“eDetailing”). The report provides insight into physician’s informational needs, the volume and time spent during those interactions, and the value and outcomes physicians place on those interactions.

All data are reported in aggregate, across three European countries (France, Germany, and United Kingdom), and three therapeutic specialties (Cardiology, Oncology, and Respiratory/Pulmonology).

How you can use this report:

• Optimize sales strategies by understanding how physicians from different countries and specialties experience the two detail environments
• Identify possible messaging opportunities – Understand prescribers’ actual vs. desired volume of in-person and electronic details
• Make more informed resourcing decisions by measuring physician satisfaction with each medium
