The Point of Care Marketing Association (POCMA) announced results of a study by MedFuse to provide insight into the complete reach of POC marketing.
MedFuse, a healthcare data technology company, indicates health care providers (HCP) with POC marketing have more patients and write more prescriptions.

- Three out of four prescriptions are written by an HCP with POC.
- POC was >5x more cost-efficient at driving conversions, as learned from a case study* which found POC drove 17% of the NBRx attribution with only 2% of the media investment.
