Celebrating 62%

Our strategic partner, IMS Health, continues to innovate and expand their offering. We're excited to share the news that their Anonymized Patient-Level Data (APLD) set now captures 62% of all retail pharmacy transactions in the U.S. -- more than any other data company. Previously audited data was at 50%, but now our friends at IMS are clearly in the leadership position. This enhancement brings more clarity to traditional TRx. Don't get me wrong, TRx is great, but as marketers, we appreciate having all of those refills culled from the data. By focusing on the prescriptions in play, we can target those physicians truly in the "buying" process. 

So, I raise my glass (62% full!) and toast IMS. Congratulations, guys! 
Now, how soon can we see 75%?
