Pixels and Pills at the ePharma summit
There is so much talk on the Internet about Social Media, the pharmaceutical industry and how the FDA will “deal” with it that it’s hard to keep up with all of it. Twitter is great to follow it all and as the ePharma Summit is under way, there’s more buzz than ever in the Twitterverse (@ePharma and #ePharma). There’s also the people from the Pixels&Pills blog who are doing a really good job at covering the event by interviewing (with video postings embedded from Vimeo) some of the better known names in the industry.

Mind the Gap – Physician/patient communications
Mind the Gap is a new blog from Steve Wilkins gathering information and thoughts about communication between physicians and their patients… or lack thereof.
In his own words:
“Mind the Gap” is a warning heard on subway systems around the world. It is intended to alert individuals to avoid accidentally stepping in the “gap” that separates the train from the platform.
As used here, it is an expression that alludes to the communications gap that exists all too often today between patients and their physicians. Like the subway, this blog is a kind of warning. It is intended to making health care provider and organizations aware of the consequences of poor physician-patient communications…and how to avoid them.
Have a look at Mind the Gap. We’re sure there will be some nice informative gems in there that will trigger ideas on how big pharma or biotechs and their agencies can help HCPs better communicate with patients.
