Executive SummaryIn recent months we have seen conflicting viewpoints and statistics on doctors being on the cutting edge of technology, serving as early adopters of new mobile solutions, and even staying ahead of the curve on technology innovation. We all want to know and understand if and how doctors across multiple specialties are adopting varying technologies, how such adoption translates to use in their professional setting, and most importantly how it impacts a pharmaceutical brand team’s ability to communicate, capture and engage them in these channels. In June 2013, CMI/Compas conducted its inaugural Media Vitals study to assess the varying key factors of physician engagement, uncovering their knowledge seeking and gathering needs, preferences, sources, times of day, and omni-channel touchpoints. The study was conducted by email, using email addresses procured from our media partner DMD, a leading provider of email services to the healthcare community, having delivered over 200 million emails since initiating their service in 2006.
Although the full Media Vitals study will be released to clients in late July 2013, focusing on answers to over 58 questions, the CMI/Compas team wanted to assess a few key specialties and their digital/mobile behaviors/experiences to help our industry make better use of these channels to connect with their targets.
The specialties assessed are:

Here is what we found:
Key Findings – Highlights
• Doctors – regardless of specialty – are multi-screen users, relying on multiple devices such as a desktop computer, smartphone, and tablet for both professional and personal use, with lines blurring in their definitions of personal and professional use of these devices.
• Tasks most often performed via a mobile device by a majority of physicians across specialties are all centered on knowledge seeking and gathering.
• The majority of doctors (with the exception of oncologists and psychiatrists) recall ads from a multitude of channels, including print and online journals, conferences, search and digital websites. Mobile is rapidly growing in ad recall success with nearly 3 in 10 doctors reporting becoming aware of ads on their devices.

While desktop computers are used by the highest percentage of physicians in the office setting, smartphones are a close second for cardiologists, gastroenterologists and oncologists. For personal use, smartphones outperform tablets.
Multi-Screen Proliferation
Physicians are increasingly using a combination of devices in both their personal and professional setting, as lines begin to blur as to what constitutes professional and personal info-seeking and gathering behaviors .
This reality and the incredible pace of multi-screen adoption is forcing every sector of the digital economy – publishing, entertainment, and advertising – to rethink how it provides the right environment and screen-specific experiences to its customers while retaining continuity of overall user and brand experiences across those screens.

The smartphone is also an important device for each of the 6 specialties, particularly for searching online and accessing drug reference databases (as will be further detailed in the next section of this report – entitled “Tasks Most Often Performed Using Smartphones and/or Tablets.”) For those who use a smartphone for professional purposes, all specialties state to use them an average of 8 times per day or more. Highest users include general practitioners/family practitioners at an average of nearly 15 times per day, followed by cardiologists at an average of 13 times per day.
Smartphones
Physicians are early adopters of smartphones. 78-87% of the physicians in the key specialties examined below use smartphones for personal purposes. That is substantially higher than the national average, which is currently hovering around 50%. Owning a smartphone does not necessarily mean that physicians are using them for professional purposes. In some cases there is a higher than 20 point spread between smartphone owners and users for professional purposes. We predict this will change with the growth of smartphone optimized and accessible tools that lead to treatment efficiency – and marketers will contribute to that growth.

Average Smartphone Usage Per Day
Page 6
TabletsThe percentage of tablet users is lower than the smartphone usage rate for obvious reasons. The tablet market is newer and is still far from reaching a point of ubiquity in healthcare and the general population. Physicians are early adopters of tablets, like smartphones. 30% of the adult American population owns tablets, which is much lower than what we see from physicians. The lowering cost, mobility, and relevant applications of tablet devices will be important drivers of future usage for physicians.

For those who use a tablet for professional purposes, the number of times it is used in a day lags behind smartphones. Despite significant adoption, tablets are not yet ubiquitous in medical practices.
Average Times Used Per Day to Access Professional Information
Page 7
DesktopThe desktop computer is the most-used device for professional purposes by physicians across the six specialties presented, and is also most utilized throughout the professional workday than any other reported device. For those who use the desktop for professional purposes, all specialties state to use it an average of 13 times per day or more. Highest users include endocrinologists, general practitioners/family practitioners, and oncologists at an average of roughly 17 times per day, followed by gastroenterologists at an average of 15 per day. Lowest reported daily use was by psychiatrists at an average of 13 times per day.

nsWhile recent research reports have shown a high percentage of physicians having tablet devices such as iPads, our research indicates that utilization of such devices is slightly lower – for both personal and professional purposes. Most interesting is what doctors perceive to be personal and professional use, as further probing questions on how they use mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets reveal that for many the use of such devices for their professional development, information-seeking and learning is as much a personal activity for some as it is a professional one for others.
For those who do use a tablet for professional purposes, usage is between 4 and 9 times a day, with general practitioners/family practitioners and cardiologists using it the most (on average 9 times per day) and endocrinologists using it the least (at an average of 4 times per day).

Likelihood and Use of Digital Information Sources
Responders across all specialties demonstrated to be high information seekers and gatherers, using a multitude of sources based on varying needs and degrees of criticality to access information. Search and medical databases were stated as the most likely used by physicians across all specialties when needing immediate information requiring an answer within 10 minutes. For non-immediate needs, where 1 to 2 days to gather information is ample, a majority of physicians chose digital resources that included the use of online medical journals as well as professional websites and online communities.
Likelihood and Criticality of Using Search EnginesA high majority of physicians across all specialties rely on search engines to address immediate knowledge needs, requiring an answer within 10 minutes. Eighty-seven percent of endocrinologists and 83% of psychiatrists represent the top two specialties relying on search for immediate access to information, followed by cardiologists. Additionally, we see that over 30% of physicians also use search for less immediate information seeking, allowing for 1-2 days to find an answer to a specific medical question.
The implications of this are vast, as the full 21 specialty study also reveals that physicians search an average of three times per day; seek medical information before, during and after work hours; use specific HCP terms in their searches; and are increasingly aware of advertising presented through search results. A strong search engine marketing and optimization strategy, both for paid and natural searches, is critical, along with in-depth knowledge of top competitors and third-party content sites displayed in response to relevant search strings. When using search engines, physicians are looking for answers to specific questions. It is important for Pharma to understand what physicians may be looking for when using certain keywords and phrases to ensure that the linked content answers the primary question. Content relevancy is extremely important after search conversion.

Likelihood and Criticality of Using Medical DatabasesLike search, the use of medical databases is high amongst physicians across specialties in response to meeting immediate knowledge needs, accessing critical medical information within 10 minutes. Similarly, over 30% of these physicians also use Search for non-immediate needs allowing one to two days to get an answer. Oncologists, gastroenterologists and endocrinologists represent the top users of medical databases when needing a more immediate answer, at 79%, 76% and 75% respectively. Interestingly, although not surprisingly, only 58% of psychiatrists state they use Search to get more immediate answers, with 48% also using Search for non-immediate needs (representing the top specialty in this category, followed by gastroenterologists at 40%).

Likelihood and Criticality of Using Online Medical JournalsThe use of online medical journals, one of the top sources physicians use to stay on top of medical developments (as shown again this year in the full 21-specialty study), is predominately used across all specialties for non-immediate needs requiring an answer in one to two days, as well as fulfilling long-term education needs and even immediate knowledge needs requiring answers in under 10 minutes.
Certain specialties show a high minority of physicians accessing online journals for immediate knowledge needs, requiring an answer within 10 minutes. These include endocrinologists (46%), oncologists (45%) and cardiologists (44%). Psychiatrists (51%) on the other hand, use online medical journals to fulfill their long-term educational needs, followed by a high minority of general practice/family practice physicians (41%) and endocrinologists (40%).
The implications of such uses reinforces the need for digital and mobile sites to be optimized for user experience and enablement of quick and effortless search and information retrieval functionality. Also important is for brand teams to consider partnering with key medical journals to enable owned content planning and placement as part of their overall paid digital media engagement strategy.

Likelihood and Criticality of Using Pharma Company Websites
In a surprising finding, our research also uncovered that Pharma company websites are utilized by 53% of psychiatrists when seeking information requiring an answer in one to two days. Similar utilization is also seen in a high minority of gastroenterologists (48%), general practitioners/family practice (48%), and cardiologists (42%). Interestingly, a high minority of endocrinologists (44%) and oncologists (42%) rely on Pharma websites when seeking immediate answers.
Like medical publishers, pharmaceutical companies need to consider investing in both content and device readiness to ensure that when physicians access their sites for immediate and longer-term needs there is ample information that is relevant, easy to find and download as needed.

Likelihood and Criticality of Using Professional Websites and Online Communities
Professional websites and online communities are also used to address physicians’ non-immediate knowledge needs, particularly with a majority of psychiatrists (57%), endocrinologists (54%), gastroenterologists (53%), and cardiologists (51%). Additionally, approximately 3 out of every 10 physicians also use professional websites and online communities to get immediate answers to their medical questions as well as longer-term educational needs.

And Where Do Doctors Notice Ads Most?
Similar to physicians’ multi-channel info-seeking and gathering behaviors, a majority of responding physicians (regardless of specialty) state that they notice brand advertising in and across multiple channels. While visibility of advertising in medical conferences and print journals capture higher percentages of physicians, direct mail, digital (including medical websites and digital journals) and search engines are not too far behind. We are also seeing mobile advertising capturing early ad awareness with a mid-minority, as this channel gets more utilization within Pharma.
As increasing saturation of brand messages continues to proliferate across channels and vehicles, it will become much more important for brands to earn their attention and engagement with physicians rather than trying to command it. Content planning as well as strong value propositions to stimulate interest and curiosity in the brand will be key to accomplish this.
