At Blue Latitude we are regularly asked by our pharma clients to undertake digital situation analyses that seek to understand digital and online environments from the point of view of patients and physicians. The amount of attention being given to payers was significantly less – which was surprising to us given their increasing influence on prescribing decisions.
As a result we have undertaken a project – entirely funded by Blue Latitude – designed to understand the payer ecosystem, their information needs and the channels they use to gain that information.
