Challenges
A physician liaison is a healthcare professional who works to build relationships between physicians and other healthcare providers, usually within a specific organization or geographic region. The goal of this position is to improve communication and collaboration between all parties involved in patient care, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. And sometimes it can be hard to control the departmental activities of dozens of physician liaisons, especially when they conduct lots of business visits and meetings outside the organization. Moreover, it’s daunting to control and manage all the expenses associated with these visits.
That’s why our client came to us with the request to build an intuitive and easy-to-use Salesforce application that can help their organization keep the pace of departmental activity and field visit documentation. The existing outreach application was not as user-friendly as needed and didn’t reflect the processes of the physician liaison team. Thus, we were asked to make a project with a more user-friendly interface that will make it easier for physician liaisons to plan and log their activity as well as record visit objectives completed and expenses.
The Onix team needed to:
Set up effective management and transparent development process
Identify and gather requirements to meet project objectives
Create an intuitive Salesforce app to track the information about employees’ business trips
Develop an effective solution to manage expenses associated with personnel business trips
Make the application adaptable for mobile phone
Create a custom user interface to achieve full engagement
