Research And Markets: Assess The Online Needs Of Physicians And Consumers In The US
DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 2, 2005--The eHealth market in the US is generally more developed than that in Europe. Substantial investment from the government and the pharmaceutical industry has propelled the developments in initiatives such as online continuing medical education. There appears to be significant potential for further uptake of online services, most notably in the areas of eDetailing, eSampling and online CME.
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c12344) has announced the addition of The eHealth Market in the US: Assessing the Online Needs of Physicians and Consumers to their offering.
The Scope of this report is as follows:
- Key findings from our 2004 Physician Insight Survey and 2004 Consumer Insight Survey
- Assessment of the current status of the markets for physician practice websites and disease management and compliance tools
- Investigation of physician opinions relating to eHealth topics such as online CME and clinical trial websites
- Analysis of the future of the key eHealth markets in the US, such as eDetailing and ePrescribing, and the implications for the pharmaceutical industry
The Highlights of this report are as follows:
- Practice websites are about to reach critical mass and physicians require extended functionality to be added to the rudimentary solutions that exist today. Pharmaceutical companies should investigate the opportunity of partnering with companies that offer these services to physicians.
- Physicians have become more sophisticated in their online health information queries and increasingly look for treatment- and disease-specific information. Pharmaceutical companies should work to enrich their disease-specific website features and ramp up their presence on websites that offer such information.
