What Is Point-of-Care Advertising? Definition | PlaceBased

Point-of-Care Advertising

Point-of-care (POC) advertising is media placed inside healthcare settings — doctor's offices, pediatric and specialty clinics, urgent care, and pharmacies — reaching patients and caregivers at the moment they are focused on health. It is the category-defining place-based venue for pharmaceutical, healthcare-brand, and public health advertisers.

POC media works because of context and attention: a patient in a waiting room is already thinking about their health, giving health messages relevance that is difficult to replicate elsewhere. Formats include waiting-room screens, exam-room posters, pharmacy-bag inserts, and digital displays. For regulated pharma and public health buyers, third-party verification of delivery — for example an Alliance for Audited Media (AAM) audit — is increasingly required to satisfy procurement and grant-reporting standards.
