Trenton, NJ job
**Customer Engagement Model** Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. has launched a new customer engagement approach designed to better deliver on patient, caregiver, and HCP needs in an evolving healthcare environment. The new model is built around where patients get their care-locally, with the intent to better serve patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers, delivering a higher quality experience that ultimately is focused on improving patient care.
The local "ecosystem approach" creates a unified focus among account management, medical, patient access and market access to engage local healthcare systems and identify opportunities to improve the patient experience. Through this matrix model, customers will now experience more coordinated and seamless care with digital-enabled support to bridge care gaps.
In Otsuka's evolved customer engagement model, a Health Science Associates (HSA) will engage HCPs through a variety of in-person, virtual and digital tools, offering expanded expertise regarding products and the approved conditions they treat. Otsuka's Clinical & Scientific Liaison (CSL) will provide deep clinical expertise on-demand and will engage healthcare providers to offer personalized education on disease state, thought leadership and real-world evidence. A Patient Education Liaison (PEL) works to inform, educate, and enhance the experience of patients throughout their care continuum.
The HSAs are led by Ecosystem Leads and grouped into regional areas. Ecosystem Leads are led by Regional Leads with significant autonomy to assess unique market priorities and customize decisions that reflect local customer needs. In the future, Otsuka will also be shifting to a team-based approach to drive customer engagement quality, accountability, and cohesion around patients and healthcare providers.
