Decision Resources Adopts Unified Brand Name

In the US, pharma researcher Decision Resources Group (DRG) has unified its portfolio of companies under the DRG brand name.

DRG provides web-enabled research and predictive analytics, proprietary databases and consulting services to providers, payers and the biopharmaceutical and medical device industries. The company has more than 900 employees across fourteen offices in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Last year, the group acquired membership-based hospital research specialist Healthcare Business Insights; and the previous year, it bought life sciences data analytics and business intelligence company Relay Technology Management, and UK health economics consultant Abacus International. The group's portfolio of companies also includes Activate Networks, Arlington Medical Resources, BioTrends Research Group, Decision Resources, Fingertip Formulary, HealthLeaders-InterStudy, Manhattan Research, Millennium Research Group, PharmaStrat, and Pinsonault.

CEO Jim Lang (pictured) comments: 'The healthcare industry is undergoing a seismic transformation with the shift from volume to value, changes to regulatory policy and the convergence of payers and providers. Our fully integrated teams and solutions are now even better aligned to provide the highest levels of support and service for our clients'.
