Life Sciences

Life-sciences has been one of the pioneering industries in adopting high-end analytics for research and development. The adoption of this competency is, in fact, reaching beyond the research division into day-to-day functions. Financial management, patient administration, healthcare practitioners’ performance management, and program’ holistic supervision within hospitals are a few out of many.

Some of the key reasons this industry has been adopting healthcare data analytics is to facilitate diagnosis, practice ‘prevention is better cure’ mantra, and reduce frauds. Additionally, business analytics also helps healthcare organizations control costs by identifying and mitigating unforeseen changes in resources, contracts, and quality measures.

Life Science Process and our solutions

Sales in pharma industries follows typical patterns, and it is often the intermediary, that is, the medical practitioner to whom sales are made, rather than the end consumers—the patients. This is the model adopted across the globe for most of the prescription drugs. However, some generic medicines follow the standard practice of selling directly to consumers.

In both cases, it is critical to measure the sales process and results to maximize the output and ensure that key business objectives are met. For pharma, that is a large capex industry, having a healthy sales function is significant to growth and survival of the brand.

Some of the metrics you get covered under this function are:

  • Sales budget analysis
  • Sales trends analysis
  • Brand wise analysis
  • Sales team performance
  • Sample distribution analysis

This function is more relevant to Pharma companies operating in a market where the medical cost is paid through insurance programs rather than by individuals. Sometimes, there is a hybrid model of payment for prescriptions. In the former case, the pharma companies also need to manage their relationship with the insurance companies to meet their sales and business objectives. Claims management functions help companies to manage their accounts and relationships through the following metrics:

  • TRx/NRx trends analysis by period
  • TRx/NRx growth analysis
  • Market share analysis by brand and plan types
  • Rx trends analysis by geographic dimensions
  • National/Region account performance
  • Account wise contribution analysis
  • Account growth vs. national market growth

The process of payment for medication is complex in some markets due to multiple schemes and regulations governing it. Hence, understanding the rejections and reversals helps the brands better position themselves in the market and optimize their relationship with the payers.

Healthcare service providers run several programs targeting specific segments within their market. These could be programs like IVF treatments, stem cell treatment and storage, rehabilitation treatments, or corporate health check-up programs. The analysis of such programs’ performance helps service providers calculate the effectiveness of their programs. Thus they can fine-tune the rough aspects of the program to meet their internal objectives. Some of the prime metrics include:

  • Clients by plan group
  • Total revenue and clients
  • Repeat clients
