Using Medical Interaction
Medical Interaction provides medical users with a comprehensive method of planning and tracking their interactions with medical professionals, leading to stronger relationships and better communication of product information. The Medical Interaction user interface (UI) is designed to be dynamic, allowing users to easily take notes and only add the sections they need. To provide continuity of account medical-related information, users can also create Discussions, Medical Inquiries, Key Medical Insights, and Documented Interests directly from the Medical Interaction report.
