Expert Network: Evaluating anti-cancer prescriptions
CLIENT SITUATION

They were conducting strategy research and needed a large volume of experts across a variety of perspectives, including Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee members at Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs), Commercial Payers, and Oncology Supergroups. They also needed to engage with Oncology Pathway Development Experts.
