PROJECT SUMMARIES 1)
New
Product Development Focus Groups
A series of focus groups were arranged and conducted to obtain clinician
opinions on products and solicit information critical to support sales.
Similar groups have been convened to identify new marketing opportunities,
novel product formulations, and packaging. One such group resulted in
a company with sales growing from $168 the first year to millions worldwide.
Wound
Care Dressings: Issues in Clinical Decisionmaking
A comprehensive analysis of chronic wound and burn care dressings including
advantages and disadvantages, clinical decision- making factors, and
implications for marketing a new product was completed. The results
were used to develop clinical trials and formulate marketing plans.
Potential
Market Forecast for Chronic Ulcer Market
Epidemiological data, including prevalence, incidence, and cost of treatment
for pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and venous stasis ulcers were
researched and evaluated to forecast potential sales of a new wound
care product. The final report served as the basis for product launch
and target markets.
Product
Evaluation Trials
Product evaluation forms identifying and ranking features, benefits,
and patient outcome criteria were developed. Clinician experts were
then recruited to trial various wound dressings, incontinence products,
skin care supplies, and support surfaces and complete the extensive
evaluation.
Clinical
Response to New Technology
Several clinical trial evaluations designed to determine potential user
acceptance of new wound dressings, skin care products, and advanced
technologies have been conducted. From our nationwide network of physicians,
nurses, physical therapists, administrators, and other healthcare professionals,
key individuals were selected to participate in discussion groups or
telephone interviews. Results helped to pinpoint previously unidentified
markets, redesign packaging, and finalize instructions for use.
Medical Technology Reimbursement
Hotline Services
Hotlines providing customized support for submitting claims, identifying
billing codes, appealing denied claims, and educating insurers have
been established for a number of products, new technologies, and clinical
procedures. Feedback from users of hotline services is used to identify
customer needs, user trends, and sales success.
Wound
Dressing Product Launches
Several companies have selected us to profile existing and potential
markets; determine the knowledge level and attitudes of target audiences;
identify potential sales obstacles; finalize product packaging and usage
instructions; and develop customer education materials.
