MyInsights Program Survey Opportunities Available
Product surveys are an important way to share your insights with biopharma companies. Not only does your feedback communicate specific content requests to biopharma companies (eg, comparative effectiveness analysis, real-world evidence) so that they are more likely to post helpful files to FormularyDecisions, but it also helps biopharma companies identify potential evidence gaps that can be filled over time.
Log into FormularyDecisions to view all survey and feedback opportunities available. Earn points for completing surveys that can be redeemed in the form of gift cards and/or donated to a charity.
Below are links to the Product Page for surveys that are at the top of the list of all available surveys when you sort by “Most Recent” on FormularyDecisions.
