Customer journeys are highly strategic and – in a competitive and regulated environment like life sciences – understanding them can literally make or break the success of a new drug launch, as well as efforts to achieve long-term loyalty and adherence. For pharma, added complexities start with the definition of the “customer.” While patients are the end consumers, pharma has more direct relationships with prescribing health care providers (HCPs), who significantly influence the patient experience and most certainly determine the successful marketing of medications.

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

ACCELERATE YOUR
PLANNING CYCLES1
Moving faster in 2016 means marketers will conduct more frequent planning cycles based on
accelerated intelligence and in-market trigger events. Whether it’s a competitive launch, a newly
predicted dip in revenue, or defection of a key target, marketers will rely on more frequent, faster planning
cycles, which will be instrumental in navigating the disruptive change. Planning tools are being built
to organize smarter, bigger data that will be structured to support specific planning steps—for example,
segmentation, copy testing, and more aggressive in-market test-and-learn plans.
Data development is pivotal in planning
Healthcare systems are speeding up. Just as hospitals are enabling practitioners and patients to monitor more
interactions, the volume of healthcare data is increasing. The Internet of Things is putting gas on the fire as
the deluge of portable and wearable devices that produce health and engagement data streams will bring large
volumes of unstructured data that risk bogging down the overall marketing ecosystem. Going forward, all
marketers must be connected to both strategic planners and well-trained data scientists who can effectively
link the data back to discrete marketing strategy, plan tools, and steps; distill learnings; and provide seasoned
guidance. Customer relationship experts who can master both the marketing and the clinical health data
sides are well-suited to structure not only the customer experience, but also the data fields and segmentation
algorithms required to deliver the individual care experience.
Another interesting application
we expect to see this year is
doctors being proactive in making
appointments with specific
patients—doctors will need to feed
their businesses with streaming
addressable customer data sets to
help identify high-value, high-risk
prospects. That data can trigger
appointment requests and proactive
services based on individual needs.
Doctors of the future will further
test real-time alerts and reminders
preempting, and thus, potentially
preventing larger, more invasive
medical interventions.2

7. Five People-Based Marketing Strategies for 20167
A tighter link with journey-based storytelling will give newly empowered people-based marketers a
considerable edge over those who try to build brands with awareness media alone. Taking advantage of
automation platforms can deliver interventions across the entire customer journey, and brand storytellers need a
revamped toolset—one that guides customers along a structured decision-making journey. For forward-leaning
customer segments, a simple awareness message can be enough to prompt action. But for the majority of fence-
sitters, a more immersive, long-form experience will be required to address challenging barriers.
Driving change
A tighter focus on behavioral goals and tailored interventions before and after each journey milestone, matched
against baselines and control assumptions, will lead to better outcomes for both marketers and consumers. The
role of the brand story is not only to introduce and set expectations about the product or service, but also to
provide follow-up support to ensure the right outcomes are achieved. Longitudinal survey data will also help
improve the intervention with the ability to document the patient satisfaction with key steps of the service.
Gathering preferences and engagement data before and after the
healthcare intervention will be key to closing the loop on qualitative
and quantitative insights. Whether it’s completing a hospital
procedure or starting a potentially costly prescription medication,
connected interventions that are integrated into a longitudinal brand
story are essential to guide a desired behavior.5
While these tactics
will be voluntary to the brand, it is a matter of time before they are
made mandatory by managed care organizations (MCOs) in their
pursuit of optimal therapeutic impact.
Emotional impact
Emotional engagement should also be contextualized within
the discussion of data and automation. Emotion lies at the heart
of every brand story. Emotion drives memorability, appeal,
and motivation. It must be enhanced, not sidelined, during the
automation ramp up. Making sure your content is emotionally
charged will deliver higher responses than a reliance on brute
force through volume of interventions alone. Brands must be
evaluated on the softer scores alongside the hard engagement and
financial metrics.

9. Five People-Based Marketing Strategies for 20169
Patients and customers want to see the human soul in companies
Healthcare marketers have a natural advantage over other industries—we can easily look “beyond the pill” to
our clinical studies or to wellness and lifestyle topics to generate relevant stories. We all need to go further as
we reimagine our healthcare organizations in 2016. Reenergizing principle-centered leadership is one clear way
to establish a unique content identity, a distinctive role in society, and help cut through the huge advertising
clutter from healthcare companies, all generically promising essentially the same thing: better care.
Creating a much more organic, human, and soulful organization can form a unique identity. Few get this
better than Oprah Winfrey who in a given day is a media CEO, a TV producer, a self-help guru, a publisher, a
philanthropist, and an actress. Oprah’s whole brand is built around making the world a better place, which in
turn, becomes an extension of a successful commercial model.9
Authenticity at the heart of a good brand story can reflect the genuine identity of the company. Companies that
can’t decide quite who they are won’t be able to deliver the clear guideposts to the customer making the tough

11. Five People-Based Marketing Strategies for 201611
The traditional healthcare behavior change models, like the trans-theoretical model and the health models of
change, should be kept alive and refined through vibrant test and learn plans so marketers can strengthen the
link between brand storytelling and the trust drivers that we know drive action.
While there is no central repository aggregating all of this behavioral expertise and knowledge, there are
data streams available that can be aggregated to create impactful programs. These efforts are enhanced by
proprietary big data sets that can be mined to create unique behavior change programs that enable competitive
advantage for specific brands.
For example, we know helping patients access healthcare communities and tap trusted health publishers like
Healthgrades brings the forward-leaning patient closer to a decision point. Re-architected journeys then sit on
top of the refined behavioral models and will become more predictive over time. Thus the influence models,
interpreted at the ecosystem level surrounding an individual, can be also identified through self-report surveys
and other data sources to tap the optimal set of trust buttons and help move an individual patient forward.

Expect more scientific and digital discoveries that aspire to change the world and disrupt previously
stable revenue streams. Healthcare entrepreneurs will continue to assail the once safe ivory towers within
our healthcare system. The investors and boards of directors who are putting their money on the line will
eagerly look for game changers that will accelerate or even seek to obliterate their business model. Being
aware of these disruptors early can prepare marketers to adapt their customer listening, competitive intelligence
audits, and projected revenue schedules while they quickly maneuver through increasingly fast-changing
healthcare marketplaces.
Depending on your position in the industry, these
areas of disruption might make you excited or
seriously nervous:14
●● Nanotechnology
●● Genetically Modified Organisms
●● Mendelian Genetics
●● Chromosome Carry Genes
●● Organ Transplants
●● Regenerative Medicine
●● Genome Sequencing
●● Genetic Engineering
●● Transplantation of Engineered Tissue
Many of these areas are well on their way through research and development and on to commercialization.
Gene therapy, transplantation of engineered tissue, and breakthroughs like nanomedicine that aspire to
manipulate matter at the cellular level are now being tested in humans. For example, Maryland-based
CytImmune is a research firm designing nanotechnology, such as Aurimune (See figure 4), to overcome
challenging problems in cancer treatment by operating at the cellular level. These new, inspired pipelines may
significantly change the business models of the traditional pharmaceutical industry and the shape of healthcare
organizations aligned around traditional work streams and service models.

In 2016, success in people-based marketing will be increasingly defined by faster cycles of strategic
planning and more immersive brand storytelling, both of which will accelerate changes in health
behaviors. US-based healthcare brands already spinning up next-gen marketing automation must now prioritize
key strategies to optimize customer relationships and drive maximum impact. The approaches in this paper are
beacons that show the path to a level of customer relevance and business impact that’s well beyond expectations
of previous years.
After all, according to Forrester Research, customer relationships are now the only remaining source of
competitive advantage.15
Our job, and the goal of this report, is to help you spot the right opportunities and get
the biggest revenue impact for your organization.
The ideas covered ladder up to a new marker of organizational maturity—namely, speed. As a result, we’re
proposing a new measurement paradigm: Return on Velocity (ROV), a new way to think about organizational
efficiency to support driving customers through complex buying processes at a much faster rate. We think
healthcare marketers that can harness fast-moving trends will accelerate commercial value and separate
themselves from the rest of the pack. Leaders, fast followers, and laggards are going to face dozens of
strategic options, but they should be evaluated for speed to impact and accelerated performance that
can reduce the time and expense of driving desired health behaviors.
CONCLUSION: A NEW PARADIGM TO
IMPROVE ORGANIZATIONAL VELOCITY
Return on Velocity (ROV) is a new way to think about
organizational efficiency to facilitate customers through
the buying processes at a much faster rate.
