Attendees and HCP records

Every HCP is one record, from registration to close.

The same healthcare professional (HCP) shows up in the client's CRM, on its target list, and on a sign-in sheet, spelled three ways. Walk-ins get typed in days later. Pharmagin matches each registration to one HCP record, checks the client's limit on every path in, and keeps program night on that record.

One record per HCP

ProblemOne HCP, three records.

Every registration is matched to one HCP.

Invitations, the public page, and the planner's list all look the HCP up in the client's CRM, its target list, or the NPI registry. Pharmagin suggests the match, and a planner confirms it before the record counts. The limit and the spend then follow the right person.

A registration the system matched to one HCP record by name, state, and email. The planner sees the fields that differ and confirms the match.

ProblemWalk-ins get typed in days after the program.

Walk-ins sign in on the spot.

At the door, a walk-in registers and signs in, in one step, on the sign-in screen or on their own phone. One added after the program needs a reason, and the reason stays on the record with a name and a time.

Adding an HCP who signed the paper sheet but was not on the roster: the HCP is selected and the reason "Paper sign-in sheet" is entered before adding them as attended.

ProblemOnline, nobody signs a sheet.

Online attendance comes from the meeting itself.

Each HCP joins with a personal link. Those who stay past the client's minimum time are marked attended. The rest are marked no-show when the program is completed.

A virtual program's attendee list after the meeting: 23 on the roster, 20 attended and 3 no-shows, each with an attendance status.

ProblemA program closes with attendees nobody identified.

Close waits until every attendee is matched.

Before close, each attendee who could receive something is confirmed: matched to one HCP record, or marked as not an HCP. Only then does the meal split, and the spend per HCP, start from the right list.

A completed program that cannot close yet: the one item left is the spend allocation, and the closure checklist shows attendee reconciliation and expenses complete.

The same record can screen guests and colleagues at registration, and keep trained speakers out of the audience. It can also apply state meal rules at sign-in and track minimum registrations before the program, when the client's standard operating procedure (SOP) calls for them.

Watch one HCP's record, from sign-in to Open Payments

Every December, someone rebuilds what each HCP received, from receipts and sign-in sheets. The same HCP sits in the client's CRM, its target list, and the sheet, spelled three ways. Planners match them by hand and type in the walk-ins days later. And when the client's compliance team asks what one HCP received this year, the answer takes days. Pharmagin keeps one record per HCP, from the first registration to the spend report. When an HCP registers, Pharmagin suggests the matching record, and a planner confirms it. On program night, each HCP signs in personally. A walk-in signs in on the spot. A program can't close until every attendee is matched and the spend is in. Then each HCP's share of the meal is allocated, by who attended and ate. Aggregate Spend rolls every closed program up to one row per HCP, with a reason on every excluded row. Fix an HCP's record once, and every row follows. And the attendance goes back to the client's Veeva Vault CRM as it changes. Your planners stop retyping sign-in sheets. Your client's compliance team gets spend per HCP the day each program closes, and its CRM already knows who came. To see this on one of your client's programs, book a program walkthrough at pharmagin.com.
