WHAT’S GOING ON

Twice a year, I research and write two comprehensive, fact-based, and nonpartisan reports on drug channel economics. In some small way, I try to make the world a better and smarter place.

Licenses for our DCI reports are regularly purchased by nearly every company involved in the drug channel: pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, pharmacists, pharmacy owners, hospitals, buyers, benefit managers, managed care executives, policy analysts, investors, consultants, and more. So, you can find out what your customers, partners, and competitors are reading.

FUN FACTS

• The 12 chapters are self-contained and do not need to be read in order. (Really!) There are loads of internal hyperlinks to help you navigate the document and customize it to your specific interests and priorities.

• As always, we have updated all market and industry data with the most current information available, including our annual analyses of the market positions of the largest pharmacies, specialty pharmacies, and PBMs. Many sections and chapters have been expanded and/or reorganized to better cover the latest industry developments. For more details, see the "What’s New in the 2023 Report" section of the report's overview.

• We are offering the option to download an additional PowerPoint file with images of all 241 exhibits. This popular option helps you share the insights and data with others in your organization. (The exhibits appear within the text for all license versions.)

• There are a staggering 966 (!) endnotes, most of which have hyperlinks to original source materials. These source materials offer a handy way to build your knowledge base beyond what’s included in the full report.

• As usual, I have reluctantly stripped out the corny jokes and pop culture references. Sadly, there are zero memes and absolutely no references for SpongeBob SquarePants.

If you have any questions (before or after reading the report), please email me.

Enjoy!
