Video Spotlight: Tina Lai Liedtky Vice President, Global Marketing & Product Development, Alere

Highlights from the Video:

Big trends in Information Access at Alere:
“The motto we have at Alere is the idea that knowing now matters, meaning that having immediate and actionable information can better improve clinical and economic outcomes.”

On achieving business goals:
“I think that the overarching challenge that we have in healthcare today, whether you are a clinician, an administrator, or a marketer like myself, is how to deliver higher quality at lower costs. What that means for us as marketers is that you need to very clearly describe and articulate the value proposition of our products and services to our customers. We need to make them understand why it is that if they take our solution, they will end up w/better outcomes over time.”

Top Priorities for 2016:
“That is a really great question and it was a little bit of both. So, it was a strategic discussion because I think everyone has an awareness that we need to improve our pricing. The problem that we faced is that we don’t have the right systems in place to allow us to analyze the data that we have. It’s really difficult to do something if we can’t measure it. One of the things that we realized is that we need better systems. Alere certainly is a fantastic company and has grown over the years through many acquisitions. Usually what happens in this sort of situation is that you get a lot of sites with different legacy systems and it’s difficult to harmonize those systems. It takes a lot of manpower, time, and effort in order to do so. One of the things that we need to do is to put the infrastructure in place so we can get the data and be able to analyze it.”
