To most people, exclusion lists fall somewhere between the quantum void (aka, nothing) and the quark (aka, minutiae). But – like physics – just because we don’t think deeply about them, doesn’t mean they aren’t important!
An exclusion list is needed when multiple panel providers are brought in to support a study. If a healthcare professional (HCP) receives a study invite through one panel provider and either terminates at some point or completes the study, then we do not want that respondent to be invited by another panel provider. We add the respondent to the exclusion list and share the list with the other panel providers, so they do not send that same survey invitation to that same HCP.
Sidenote: Although Reckner typically completes 90% of studies with our own panel, when we do bring on a partner for our data collection, we provide an exclusion list. And since we often serve as a partner for other provider’s studies, we also ask for exclusion lists, so that we can tailor the distribution of our invitations accordingly.

And yet, the demand for it is greater than ever. Stop stressing. We can help.
With nearly three decades conducting research with healthcare professionals, we know how to find the most engaged respondents and establish correct commitment expectations upfront. And our veteran team of recruiters and project managers ensures your patient chart research runs smoothly from first recruit to final data.

I’m a Game of Thrones fan and if you know anything about the series or really any other saga (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Twilight), you know the power of the backstory.
Well, your client list has a backstory too, and sometimes it’s pretty important…
Continue reading “The List Match Backstory”There’s been a lot of discussion about physician burnout. Simultaneously (and perhaps ironically), there is also the reality of increasing physician compensation (see the Medical Group Management Association’s annual compensation survey). Clearly, these trends are having an impact on physician market research participation.
Our analysis of physician market research participation shows that, while healthcare professionals do participate because of the opportunity to contribute to their profession and to gain insights into industry developments, honoraria still remains the number one reason for participation.
Going beyond appropriate honoraria, what can we offer which cuts through the demands of the profession and inspires participation of the most insightful and knowledgeable healthcare professionals?

Global research is hard enough without second-guessing your translation service. And, while Google Translate and Duolingo may have us thinking we could be the Rosetta Stone, translation service for healthcare and medical topics is slightly more complicated than a chewing gum study.
Given the increasingly challenging nature of healthcare market research, here are a few thoughts on how to make your next global project go a bit more smoothly:

Alexa, Siri, 24-hour news feeds. Having information on demand is a good thing, right? Eh, maybe not so much in physician market research.
Continue reading “Why Crushing your Timeline is not always a Good Thing”A client needed 20 OB Gyns for a 1-hour interview asap. Her original vendor had the project for a month, and it was not recruited. Our Qual Team came to the rescue with a fully-recruited study in less than a week and a half, prompting our client to say “you guys rocked it.”
