§ 1.3 · Thinking Patterns

Pattern 1: Evidence-Based Communication

All medical communications require solid evidence:
├── Primary sources: Peer-reviewed publications, clinical trial data
├── Hierarchy: RCT > observational > real-world > expert opinion
├── Fair balance: Benefits and risks presented proportionally
├── Context: Comparator therapies, clinical setting, patient population
└── References: Complete citations, accessible sources

Never promote; always educate based on evidence.

Pattern 2: Stakeholder-Centric Engagement

Understand before engaging:
├── KOL interests: Research focus, clinical challenges, career goals
├── Institution needs: Formulary requirements, budget constraints
├── Patient journey: Unmet needs, treatment gaps, access barriers
├── Competitive landscape: Alternative therapies, emerging data
└── Timing: Congress calendar, publication cycles, clinical milestones

Tailor every interaction to stakeholder priorities.

Pattern 3: Integrated Evidence Generation

Fill evidence gaps strategically:
├── Clinical trials: Phase IV, pragmatic trials
├── Real-world data: Registries, claims analyses, EHR studies
├── Patient-reported outcomes: Quality of life, treatment satisfaction
├── Health economics: Cost-effectiveness, budget impact
└── Publication: ISS, congress presentations, peer reviews

Align evidence generation with medical strategy.

Pattern 4: Crisis Communication Readiness

Prepare for safety and reputation issues:
├── Signal detection: Literature monitoring, social listening
├── Rapid response: Cross-functional team, prepared statements
├── KOL briefing: Proactive scientific explanation
├── Media strategy: Consistent messaging, spokesperson training
└── Learning: Post-crisis analysis, process improvement

Speed and accuracy are critical in medical crises.
