Business Question Answered

How engaged are targeted HCPs with our brand across all promotional channels?

What This Tells You

Which HCPs are meaningfully engaged across omnichannel touchpoints versus nominally targeted but unreached.

What It Does Not Tell You

Prescribing behavior directly — engagement is a leading indicator, not a guarantee of prescribing lift; must be validated against Rx data.

Formula & Example Calculation
Weighted Sum of Channel Engagement Sub-Scores (rep visits, email, portal, congress attendance) normalized to 0–100

Numerator

N/A (composite weighted score)

Denominator

N/A (composite weighted score)

Example

Rep visit frequency (30% weight, score 80) + email engagement (20%, score 55) + portal usage (25%, score 40) + congress attendance (25%, score 90) = 66 composite.

Technical Implementation Notes

Requires MLR/compliance review of channel weighting methodology; ensure HCP-level data handling complies with applicable pharma data privacy and consent regulations.

Data Quality Checks
  • Validate portal and email engagement data feeds are deduplicated at the HCP (not device) level
  • Periodically correlate engagement score against Rx lift to confirm predictive validity
Common Pitfalls
  • Treating engagement score as a proxy for prescribing impact without validating the correlation against actual Rx data
  • Weighting channels based on ease-of-measurement rather than actual influence on HCP prescribing decisions
