The document discusses maximizing marketing opportunities at the point of care. It begins by outlining a typical consumer's healthcare journey, from initial online research to appointments with doctors and pharmacists. It then defines point of care as anywhere consumers receive healthcare interactions. The rest of the document provides evidence that marketing directly to consumers at points of care can be an effective strategy, including data showing recall of ads and actions taken after exposure. It also notes consumers are open to health information at points of care along their journey.

2. What is it about the ‘point of care’?
3. What is the evidence for marketing at the ‘point of care’?
4. What consumers tell us about the ‘point of care’?
4. IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHCARE CONSUMERISM
“Many consumers would like to be better healthcare consumers -
In particular, they want to be better able to make decisions to
address their needs.
Respondents – even those with good insurance coverage, repeatedly
indicated that they want to be good healthcare consumers who can
make informed choices about the care they receive.
Most of the respondents said that they do not believe they can do
that today.”
Healthcare Consumerism 2018: An Update on the Journey
5. CONCERNS OF CONSUMERS
Four important themes emerged in the McKinsey Survey:
Affordability of healthcare
Continuity – many consumers lack continuity in their healthcare journey
Digital – consumers are increasingly demanding digital solutions and tools
to be a core part
Engagement – many consumers want to collaborate and be good healthcare
consumers who want to be educated and navigate the system

7. INFLUENCE OF HEALTHCARE CONSUMERISM
1) Empowerment: information and
knowledge that enables me to actively
participate in my healthcare management
2) Expectation: my voice needs to be heard
and there are always options
3) Ease: I can get exactly what I need or
want exactly when I need it without hassle

9. Sophie’s search starts on the
Internet
To ensure Sophie’s family + baby is always healthy,
as a mid-high Internet user she starts to research
information through the Internet.
With over 1.1 million Australian page views each
month, 5.5k+ best-in-class rich health contents,
Sophie is very likely to come across myDr.com.au
and be exposed to ads that’s relevant for her.
10. Sophie makes an appointment to
see her local GP
To find out more about the information she saw on
the Internet, along with the relevant product ad she
was exposed to, she makes an appointment to see
her local GP.
While waiting to see her GP, she is exposed to ads
in the doctor’s office (33% more likely), and recalls
seeing the same ad she saw at myDr.com.au.

14. DEFINITION OF POINT OF CARE
Anywhere and everywhere a consumer is receiving care via an interaction with a
healthcare professional
Spans a multitude of channels and key points along the patient journey
and
Represents the closest parallel to ‘point of purchase’ within the retail industry
It is effectively the “last mile”
15. POINT OF CARE CONTENT– GOALS
• Empowering patients and care partners to take an active role in their
healthcare management
• Facilitating more meaningful and effective engagement between
patient/caregiver and Healthcare Professional (e.g. GP or nurse)
• Driving increased wellbeing and preventative healthcare,
• Encouraging earlier diagnoses, better (personalised) treatment protocols, and
adherence
• Improving overall healthcare and wellbeing outcomes
16. WHAT IS POINT OF CARE
MARKETING?
Target consumers within a trusted care setting where important health
and lifestyle decisions are made.
Built on the understanding that an informed patient with increased
health literacy will benefit not only the patient, but also the healthcare
sector as a whole
Contextually relevant Point of Care environments to achieve ROI and
portfolio growth.
17. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT HEALTHCARE PRODUCTS
AND SERVICES?
Highly personal – directly and indirectly i.e. self and family
“Emotional ownership”
“Psychological defences”….why and why not

20. FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF
VALUE
The Elements of the Value Pyramid
Products and services deliver fundamental elements
of value that address 4 kinds of needs:
1. Functional
2. Emotional
3. Life Changing
4. Social Impact
21. HIGH IMPACT “EMOTIONAL MOTIVATORS” –
TOP 10
I am inspired by a desire to: Brands can leverage this motivator by helping customers:
Stand out from the crowd Project a unique social identity; be seen as special
Have confidence In the future Perceive the future as better than the past; have a positive mental picture of what’s to come
Enjoy a sense of well-being Feel that life measures up to expectations and that balance has been achieved; seek a stress-free state
without conflicts or threats
Feel a sense of freedom Act independently, without obligations or restrictions
Feel a sense of thrill Experience visceral, overwhelming pleasure and excitement; participate in exciting, fun events
Feel a sense of belonging Have an affiliation with people they relate to or aspire to be like; feel part of a group
Protect the environment Sustain the belief that the environment is sacred; take action to improve their surroundings
Be the person I want to be Fulfill a desire for ongoing self-improvement; live up to their ideal self-image
Feel secure Believe that what they have today will be there tomorrow; pursue goals and dreams without worry
Succeed in life Feel that they lead meaningful lives; find worth that goes beyond financial or socioeconomic measures
• Hundreds of “emotional motivators” drive consumer behaviour
• Emotional connection does not necessarily relate to being liked or trusted
• Every brand will have its own set of emotional motivators
• A process need to be gone through via survey, interviews, data especially your best customers to understand your brand’s
unique motivators

22. What is the evidence for
marketing at the ‘point of
care’?
23. WHY ADOPT A POINT OF CARE STRATEGY?
While the main objective behind point-of-care
marketing is to build awareness, brands are
increasingly using the channel to promote patient
education and treatment adherence.
Patients are more receptive to health information
and often primed for action at point-of-care.
Third party studies (IQVIA, FieldForce Planning)
have shown that Point of Care marketing can
generate as much as a 5-to-1 ROI
36% of pharma brand marketers expected to
increase their POC marketing investment*

29. MAPPING YOUR MEASUREMENT PLAN
Point of Care Study, April 2019
Set your metrics according to program objectives and consider what specific
questions you are looking to answer
Specific considerations:
• When measuring medicine lift, minimum recommended time to conduct
a robust analysis is 6 months, as it takes time to see change in OTC or
prescribing behaviour within the actual data
• Measuring relevant patient-focused clinical milestones can help provide
perspective on the POC campaign’s effectiveness toward driving real
health outcomes
30. MEASUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Point of Care Study, April 2019
Marketing Mix
• Provides a broad view of
channel/tactic effectiveness
within the context of overall
brand performance
• Data output only as good as
data input
• “Inconclusive” is just that
• Variability in the data must
be present to detect impact
Test & Control
• Measures specific tactic
effectiveness
• Test and Control Groups
should have similar criteria
other than the POC Program
affecting volume over the
test period
• The Control Group should be
catered specifically to each
HCP or group of HCPs being
measured
• For patient-level analyses,
the Control Group should be
catered specifically to each
individual patient exposed
