Cascador Health offers physician engagement and education services, standalone or as part of a scientific study, to efficiently unlock physician-reported data, foster guideline adherence and involvement in research initiatives.
Adoption Barrier Assessment
Physician and patient preference for the current standard of care, financial and regulatory roadblocks, … many barriers prevent the swift adoption of new therapies. Overcome a lack of trust in new therapies or technologies by learning about habitual behaviours in prescription, limited exposure to or information about guidelines and the efficacy of novel therapies.
