- Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN (1888PressRelease) May 31, 2011 - Healthy AdviceŽ Networks, the nation's leading provider of award-winning patient and physician engagement programs at point-of-care, announces a groundbreaking measurement tool provided by Ecosys Consumer Analytics. The EcosysIMPACT POC effectiveness analysis uses physician claims information and shopper card data to measure actual product purchase in a rigorous test vs. control environment. This provides significantly greater accuracy compared to survey-based purchase intent historically used by brands when measuring the impact of point-of-care health messages on consumer purchase volume.
Initial research yielded outstanding results for Healthy Advice sponsors. A heart health brand increased dollar sales by almost nine percent and volume (as measured in ounces) by twelve percent in only six months. The brand educated its audience about its health benefits, drove trial and received the implied endorsement of respected physicians.
Scott Nesbitt, Executive Vice President of Analytics at Healthy Advice Networks, commented, "We built our name and reputation on delivering a quality product with measurable results. We have always measured incremental lift in new prescription revenue for our pharmaceutical clients and we wanted to deliver quantifiable, statistically significant results for our consumer health and OTC brands as well. With Ecosys Consumer Analytics, we are able to do so. This type of quantifiable analysis with large base sizes has never been done before in the point-of care environment."
Matt Dumas, President of Ecosys Consumer Analytics, said, "Until now, OTC and consumer health and wellness brands have struggled to measure the impact of programs targeting consumers in the physician's office. EcosysIMPACT POC provides a granular scorecard analyzing such programs using key effectiveness metrics including incremental sales/volume lift and buyer conversion metrics."
Healthy Advice Networks delivers patient-engagement programs in primary care, cardiology, women's health, pediatric, gastroenterology, urology, dermatology, and rheumatology practices. The company also delivers health information and late-breaking news directly to physicians and their staff through PracticeWireŽ, the only product located in the physician's back office where healthcare practitioners can access information while practicing medicine.
