The Drug Channels Coronavirus Industry Impact Survey

It’s a unique and troubling time. We are all of course concerned about the coronavirus and its disruption to our personal and professional lives.

I presume that life will return to normal later this year. But what happens then? Will there be long-term changes to how the drug channel operates? Will we see permanent changes in behavior, policy, and industry structure?

To answer these questions, I want to tap the collective insights of Drug Channels’ 30,000+ audience.


This survey should take 10 minutes or less. I will provide a full review of the results next week on Drug Channels. The survey will close on March 20.

You can respond anonymously. Any information you provide will be kept confidential. Per Drug Channels' long-standing policy, I never publish, release, or disclose any personal data without your permission.

Thanks in advance for sharing your insights.

Regards,
Adam

Coronavirus Industry Impact Survey: Winners and Losers (Part 3)

  • Pharmacies
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturers
  • Hospitals
  • Wholesalers
  • Pharmacy benefit managers and plan sponsors
  • Insurance companies.
In these early stages of this crisis, my crystal ball is as cloudy as yours. Let’s hope that the country will stabilize within a few months. I may then rerun the survey to determine how (if at all) everyone’s perspective has changed.
