FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MODESTO, CA ---June 14, 2000 MCOLÔ (mcol.com), the leading health care information technology company specializing in delivering business-to-business managed care knowledge resources, has announced the release of the Managed Care Training Kit Pharmaceutical Edition 2000, a new software CD suite providing essential managed care training modules for those involved in the pharmaceutical industry.
Clive Riddle, President, MCOL, says, “One of the toughest challenges facing pharmaceutical professionals is keeping up with the rapid changes in the managed care marketplace, especially regarding pharmacy benefit coverage, trends and issues. The Managed Care Training Kit Pharmaceutical Edition 2000 addresses this challenge.”
Riddle explains that extensive research went into the development of this training software. To meet this challenge,” explains Riddle, “we interviewed numerous managed care executives within the pharmaceutical industry about the training resources they’d like to provide their companies’ field representatives and others, and we also received considerable input directly from field representatives as well. In addition, we reviewed various resources and materials that pharmaceutical companies currently use to determine what specific training needs were not being met in this regard.”
Claire Thayer, Vice President of Research and Development, MCOL, adds, “We created a unique interactive CD kit using the adobe acrobat file format providing key information covering a wide range of topics that is both easy to read and easy to use. These modules were carefully developed to give the user the targeted information they need to apply their managed care knowledge to everyday use in meeting their professional objectives.”
The training kit modules within this new pharmaceutical edition include the widely respected MCOL Managed Care Training Manual, extensive Managed Care Fact Sheets, a custom dictionary of 150 pharmaceutical related managed care terms, and sections on pharmaceutical managed care trends and strategies.
Here’s how it works: The user starts by learning baseline managed care information from the14- chapter Training Manual with interactive quizzes, then gets a current snapshot of the managed care industry with our Fact Sheets, and finally progresses into pharmaceutical specific resources on related managed care terms, managed care trends and strategies in the pharmaceutical industry.
The
kit is priced at $59. Site license arrangements and group discounts are
available. More details and order
