2012 Planned Research Agenda
Our research advisory services encompass topics covering payers, providers, and life sciences. Within each advisory service we plan a series of research
projects spanning the range of interest areas each service covers. Our IDC Health Insights analysts have planned dozens of research projects to help you
get the most out of your business in the coming year. The information presented here represents some of our current plans (which are subject to change).
Additionally, Insights research can become the foundation or springboard for custom consulting projects that delve into topics important to your business,
such as evaluating new business opportunities, understanding a market segment, exploring new technologies for your operations, improving knowledge of
your customers, increasing customer satisfaction, developing a competitive strategy, and more.
Because our Research Agenda may change during the course of the year, regularly check this section for updates. To learn more about the planned research
agenda or to learn about regional or country plans, please contact us.
