The ABCs of IDNs:
 The New Keys to Commercial Success for Life Sciences Organizations


The ABCs of IDNs


The days of a pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturer sales representative calling on a familiar physician to detail a new drug compound or a clever bit of laser technology may soon be gone. Now, more and more drugs and devices are sold to Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs), the often-jumbo health care delivery organizations that generally include some combination of hospitals or systems, large medical groups, long-term care services, outpatient centers and pharmacies. In addition, Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) are still a major part of the mix in some markets, as separate entities that negotiate prices for IDNs or as part of IDNs themselves.

 That means Life Sciences Organizations (LSOs) must get to know a whole new kind of customer, perhaps a purchasing executive or a Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee head, who won’t actually use the product and who may be buying on behalf of hundreds, or even thousands, of physicians.
