| Time-Concepts.com consists of a group
of individuals that are from very diverse backgrounds, which
include; Medical, Pharmaceutical, Marketing, and Technical.
They have come together to create a web based application
process that kilter's the relationship between the physician
and the pharmaceutical representative back to the direction
of the patient. Capitalizing on their experience and diversity
they have created a tool that truly positions Time-Concepts.com
as the "cutting edge" solution for an ethical and
reasonable physician and pharmaceutical representative information
exchange.
Simply stated, Time-Concepts.com is a group of individuals
who felt the medical industry could use a better process for
the exchange of information between a physician and a pharmaceutical
representative that would ultimately serve the patient's needs.
The Time-Concepts.com program has strong support for this
endeavor and they look forward to partnering with other businesses
that share their vision of patient service.
Time-Concepts.com is an independent web based company that
manages and facilitates consults between physicians and pharmaceutical
representatives in order to:
- Improve information exchange
- Manage representative access
- Improve resources for the patients
- Improve the current process
Time-Concepts.com has designed and created a proprietary
software package known as, "Curbside Consults".
"Curbside Consults" is a web-based suite of programs
that will facilitate the interface between a physician and
a pharmaceutical representative. Physicians will customize
a calendar of available consults that the pharmaceutical representatives
can then access and benefit from.
All consults will be scheduled and managed through their
website located at www.time-concepts.com. The online process
is simple and fast, and it provides tremendous flexibility
for the physician and the sales representative. The real beneficiary
is the patient because the sales representatives will be better
trained, via the consult, to provide pertinent resources to
that particular practice in order to better serve those patients.
A sales representative will visit a physician for a one-on-one
10 minutes consult in order to present their information,
or simply learn how to better serve that practice. After which,
the physician consultant will complete the consult by answering
a questionnaire that focuses on the relevance of the marketing
information, the effectiveness of the presentation and most
importantly whether or not it benefits the practice and patient.
The concept is not unique; pharmaceutical companies and physicians
enter into consulting agreements on a consistent basis. These
agreements are widely accepted and looked on as a favorable
way to enter into an information exchange between physicians
and sales representatives.
The uniqueness of Time-Concepts.com is that they have decided
to use the Internet as a delivery mechanism for the system.
In addition, Time-Concepts.com has set clear expectations
of performance during the consult by both the physician and
the sales representative. Finally, the purpose of this consult
is to improve the sales representative's perspective of the
practice and patient. This is accomplished by the physician
completed impact analysis questionnaire. |
