IMS

I wonder when will someone from IMS will get smart and write a book chronicling their incredibly inefficient and factually baseless process of reporting prescribing data. If you are out there, you will make a mint and maybe be on Oprah.

 

its the same no matter where you go, it all the same
only the names will change
I am a cowboy on a steel horse I ride

 

Understood. It'll never change. But wouldn't you read the book? That's what I'm saying.

 

And CVS doesn't report anymore

 

CVS, Costco, etc. etc.. Gee , ever think you really made goal but that it never hit the IMS data? Funny the company actually got paid they just didn't pay you!

 

It unfortunately happens EVERYDAY!!! How can some territories have NO retail/speciality scripts and others do, seriously???

 

CVS is reporting again. IMS worked it out with them. All data will be put back to 1/1.

 

...and how do you propose Amgen give credit to individual reps f they can't see the data to the prescriber? Love to hear your solution to that gripe.

 

The truth is, if you have a CVS/Caremark distribution center in your territory, you benefit from everyone else's work. 'Rx's are reported down to the prescriber level' my arse.
