LIMITATIONS OF PROJECT
While the initiative to develop a comprehensive global database of Key Opinion
Leaders (KOLs) and Key Decision Makers (KDMs) in the cardiac care domain has
significant potential, there are several inherent limitations that need to be
acknowledged.

One primary challenge is the dynamic nature of the healthcare industry, necessitating
ongoing updates to the database. New doctors will emerge, existing ones will retire,
and medical innovations will reshape the landscape. Maintaining an accurate
database requires significant labor and time, leading to increased operational
expenses as human resources are needed for continuous updates.

A key limitation of the project is the accuracy of data from secondary sources like
Google, LinkedIn, and social media. Many doctors do not share complete contact
details, leading to potential gaps or outdated information. Consequently, this may
result in errors in the database, affecting the project's ability to accurately represent
the medical community.

The manual process of searching, verifying, and entering data into the Customer
Relationship Management (CRM) system is another major constraint. Manually sifting
through social media profiles, conference brochures, and industry publications to
gather relevant data is highly time-consuming. In some cases, identifying the right
information, especially contact details or professional affiliations, can take hours.
Furthermore, the manual process increases the likelihood of human errors, which can
affect the overall quality of the database.

Moreover, before adding any new data to the CRM, it is essential to first check whether
the information already exists in the system to avoid duplication. This involves cross-
referencing the existing database with new data, which is a tedious and time-
consuming process. Failure to perform this task effectively can lead to data
redundancy, reducing the efficiency of the CRM system. Duplicate entries can also
mislead decision-makers, resulting in ineffective outreach strategies.

Another significant challenge is the limitation in data accessibility and legality. Data
privacy laws, such as GDPR in Europe, can restrict the collection and usage of personal
data. The project must navigate legal and ethical boundaries while gathering data
from various platforms. Compliance with data protection regulations is critical, but it
also limits the scope of data that can be gathered, especially contact information like
phone numbers and email addresses.

In conclusion, while the project has strong potential, it faces challenges like ongoing
updates, manual data collection, and legal restrictions. Success will require
automating processes, ensuring data privacy, and dedicating resources for
maintenance.

community. This will ensure that the organization is not only connecting with leading
doctors but also understanding their impact and influence in the field. Moreover, by
identifying new opportunities for collaboration and outreach, TRD can play a
significant role in shaping the future of cardiac care.

As the database grows, ensuring data collection, management, and accuracy


becomes essential. Manual gathering from sources like social media often leads to
incomplete or inaccurate information, particularly regarding doctors' contact details.
Additionally, updating records for new and retired doctors requires ongoing effort.
Investing in automation tools, such as AI-driven systems and web scrapers, can
streamline data collection and verification, reducing manual labor costs and
improving accuracy while minimizing the time needed for updates.

Further, collaboration with verified sources, such as medical associations or


conference organizers, can help ensure the quality and authenticity of the data. This
can also mitigate the issue of redundancy, where data might already exist in the CRM.
Automating cross-referencing processes within the CRM system would minimize time
spent manually searching for and updating information.

In the long term, the project can adopt a subscription-based model where doctors
and industry professionals can self-register and update their profiles, ensuring real-
time accuracy. A self-sustaining system of continuous data flow will allow TRD to
remain at the forefront of cardiac care innovations. Regularly engaging with these
experts through newsletters, webinars, and industry collaborations will further reinforce
TRD’s position as a leader in strategic decision-making for cardiac care.
