MDB Information Network


Posted by Mark Stern on February 19, 2002 at 18:35:25:

Someone posted a thread earlier about MDB Information Network, and I just wanted to add a 'buyer beware' comment from my experience.

My firm and I looked at MDB as a potential marketing channel for our medical device and we found some disturbing information.

First, they claim to have this massive database with data from thousands of hospitals. I don't see how that can be true.

We were skeptical of their claims and we suggested letting an independent third party verify that their claim of 1300 hospitals participated in their network.
They were pretty hostile to our suggestion that we have someone neutral verify that the database, and we were abruptly shut off when asked if we could discuss our questions with other vendors.

I thought it a little strange, just fyi.
