Key Medical Insights

• Browser
• CRM Desktop (Windows)
• iPad
• iPhone

A Key Medical Insight is information gained by Medical users via talking with key opinion leaders, reading publications, or attending conferences, for example. Insights are valuable to Medical Affairs personnel because of their importance in the current market. This information can be captured and organized in Medical CRM within the Medical_Insight_vod object. 

Examples of Key Medical Insights:

• A doctor publishes an editorial about safety concerns of a particular drug. An employee of the pharmaceutical company that manufacturers a drug that belongs to the same class of drugs meets with the doctor but realizes the concerns are not based on clinical experience. The employee notes that information as a Key medical Insight.
• An employee of a pharmaceutical company attends a conference where doctors ask him questions about a certain drug and its possible secondary effect on patients. The employee notes the information as a Key Medical Insight for further investigation.

A Key Medical Insight can be created as a standalone record directly from the Key Medical Insights tab or can be created from an Account, a Call, or a Medical Event. Key Medical Insights can also link to other sources, for example, a clinical trial, publication, or conference. Administrators can define restricted words or phrases to ensure compliance.

The Key Medical Insights tab displays tabular view of the Medical Insights records with sortable columns based on a user’s FLS to those fields. Users can also search for a saved or submitted Insight record by Summary, Description, or Account name.
