The False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §§ 3729–3733, also called the "Lincoln Law")
How does this happen?
• Medical doctors can discuss off-label use
• If they do so at a sponsored event- sponsor is liable
• Symposium at conventions
• Dinners with invited HCP’s
• Ideal is an ‘arms length’ CME event
• Problematic Sales Tactics
• Trade journal discussions
• Discussing who is using product off-label
• Blog references
• Excessive payments for speaking engagements
Sunshine Laws- March 31, 2013All medical manufacturers and providers report the payments or transfers of value that they made to covered recipients
• Consulting fees, compensation for non-consulting services, honoraria, gifts, entertainment, food, travel, education, research, charitable contributions, royalties or licenses, current or prospective ownership or investment interests, direct compensation for serving as faculty or as a speaker for a medical education program, and grants.
• Excluded • Payments under $10, unless the aggregate amount paid to a
covered recipient exceeds $100 per year;
• Product samples and educational materials for the benefit of patients;
• Loan of a covered device for a trial period under 90 days
Value to the Practioner?
Unless the sales rep is providing value- HCP is too busy meeting Patient treatment standards
• Hospitals require reps to check in on arrival
• No more than 3 visits on the same subject
• HCP can indicate- no visits
• Medical Marketing provides peer review reprints as well as approved white papers
So what does the sales force do going forward?

Current Marketing Practice
Outbound Marketing
• Push out promotions into community- email blasts, brochures, dinner meetings, and symposium sessions at conventions.• Create awareness about the device
• Features and benefits
• Demonstrate why the device deserve the customers attention
but If not increasing the Dr’s effectiveness or revenue- no time & no interest
So what is Customer Engagement?
• Critical moments of interaction so customer engagement is every employee’s responsibility
• Marketing has been best point of orchestration
• By all possible means -employees motivate customers to invest into an ongoing relationship with the product or brand
Can marketing alone understand digital channels, cope with volume, nature, velocity of the content?
Has to be a Marketing Shift

• Territory reps roles change
• Become on demand support
• Deliver emergency supplies
• Conduct lunch time staff training
• Specialty reps
• Operating Room Interaction
• Clinical training
How does Content management fit in?

• Continuing Medical Education
• FAQ’s
• Interactive troubleshooting through Chat
How does Content management fit in?Content in Cloud repository

Near Future
HCP’s define what their needs & wants in order to increase Healthcare delivery effectiveness
• Providers constantly update digital platforms to deliver those needs
• Write Once Read Many Times (WORM)
• Interaction shifts from 1 to 1 push relationship
• To On Demand support through interactive mobile devices
• Chat with remote expert OEM support personnel
• On the Fly device setting changes
• Dynamic training 13
Partnering on Content
• Affordable Care Act is shifting the way healthcare is provided
• Sales driven organizations are in denial- still believe the 1:1 relationship drives the revenue
• Marketing driven companies are waking up to the reality of controlled and limited HCP interaction
• Critical that organizations embrace Intelligent Content management as a cornerstone for success
• At a minimum- content teams must be integrated into product commercialization
• Ideally a Chief Content Officer is on the senior executive team
