Unlocking the Power of Omnichannel: Integrating Medical Strategy and Customer Experience to Transform Scientific Exchange
2025-01-17 10:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York)
In recent years, the remit of medical affairs’ education and engagement has extended to include a diverse set of stakeholders, including HCPs, payers, and patients. These stakeholders are looking for trusted information that reflects their needs, lexicon, and background knowledge. As medical affairs leaders, we have both the opportunity and responsibility to provide customer-centric engagement but it can feel overwhelming to do so in a world of limited time, budget, and resources – especially when just starting out.

In this webinar, we will discuss how to develop a customer-centric engagement strategy leveraging an omnichannel approach. We will take a step-by-step look at how to:

· Integrate medical and CX strategy

· Leverage data to fuel audience segmentation and targeting

· Build a scientific customer journey

· Create tailored content using an effective content strategy

· Prioritize and deploy a relevant channel mix

· Optimize your approach through measurement, reporting, and insight generation

This webinar is appropriate for companies along the spectrum of omnichannel maturity. We will discuss how to leverage a crawl-walk-run approach, taking the next best step wherever you are.

Behavioral Science: The Missing Link in Medical Education
2025-01-22 10:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York)
External medical affairs education has traditionally focused on delivering knowledge to HCPs. However, while foundational, knowledge alone does not always translate to clinical behavior change. The integration of behavioral science insights into the medical education process can be utilized to ultimately support the delivery of patient-focused solutions. This session examines how integrating behavioral science insights (how humans make decisions and what drives their behavior) and adult education best practices (how adults best acquire, retain, and use knowledge) can evolve external medical education from knowledge dissemination alone to behavioral understanding and, ultimately, impactful outcomes.

Key discussion points will include:

1) Why Behavioral Science Matters in Medical Education: Explore the limitations of knowledge-based education and the importance of driving behavioral change for impactful outcomes.

2) Essential Behavioral Science Concepts for Medical Education:

Identify and discuss key behavioral science principles that can enhance educational effectiveness.

3) Practical Integration of Behavioral Science into Medical Education: Provide strategies for incorporating behavioral science into educational activities, including real-world examples and practical guidance on how to address common challenges.

Generative AI Application in MLR: Outcomes and Learnings
2025-02-28 10:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York)
Over the past year, Generative AI (GenAI) has demonstrated its potential to transform the content creation process, spanning from simple documents to high-end videos. One potential use case that remains unexplored is the medical and regulatory review of content. GenAI can perform various checks, such as data fact validation against approved materials, label and industry guideline checks, image-based checks (including graphs and figures), and augment human decision-making.

Indegene conducted a pilot with an innovative specialty pharma to explore the possibilities of GenAI in medical review. This webinar will focus on key learnings from the pilot and explore expansion in usage of this emerging technology.

In this webinar, attendees will:

View a demo on the use of GenAI in data fact validation.

Learn key lessons in implementing GenAI-based medical and regulatory checks.

Explore how to address potential gaps and identify opportunities to scale.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the role of Generative AI in streamlining medical content reviews.

Identify challenges and solutions in implementing AI-driven validation processes.
