INBW17: The Essential Ingredient for a Successful Pharma EHR Strategy

This podcast inbetweenisode is mostly dedicated to Pharma teams who have determined that EHRs and Health Information Technologies are here to stay, and that it's a business imperative to develop initiatives that suit a digitized health care ecosystem. However, this info also has relevance to startups or other entrepreneurs looking to work with Pharma. Take this as a word of advice... if you are working with a Pharma team and you're noticing that they are not doing the things that I'm going to talk about... get the check up front, if you know what I mean.
