Patient meets Innovation & Collaboration

Understanding the Patient Journey, enabling a more Patient-Centric Approach.

Facilitate Live is proud to welcome you to the upcoming 6th Patient Centricity and Collaboration World Congress 2024 Americas. 

The two-day Congress aims to build meaningful collaborations within the industry, advocacy groups, clinicians, researchers, and most importantly, patients and their caregivers. Gain practical strategies and best practices on challenges, innovations, technologies, and concepts in achieving this goal.

Patient-centricity is a vital aspect in the research and development of biopharmaceutical products, disease management, designing a treatment, clinical trial or other health solution. In order to create a patient centric solution, one must truly embrace a collaborative endeavour with the patient and their caregivers. Establishing a patient-centric solution involves getting feedback from real patients and their loved ones, and making decisions based on their medical conditions, experiences, needs, perspectives and priorities.

In the current climate where the patients are increasingly becoming more empowered, life sciences and pharmaceutical companies should confront the status quo and welcome the opportunities to embrace a wide range of patient-centred perspectives presented by an emerging ecosystem. While the technology-driven world poses challenges, it also holds opportunities to build a positive patient experience by coordinating the health ecosystem to centre on the patient. Reevaluating how it develops and delivers drugs to improve experiences and outcomes and also to continuously adapt and transform to meet the evolving needs of patients.

The industry has come a long way with utilising a patient-centred approach. The concept has gone from a buzzword to a potential trend, to a perceivable goal. Whilst the industry has advanced in recent years, the evolving healthcare model and ecosystem brought forward by advances in technology and more involved, empowered patients, means true patient centricity is a continuing quest and a compelling commitment.

We look forward to meeting you at the Congress!

TRENDS & STRATEGIES IN INTEGRATING PATIENT VOICE

  • The value of engaging and communicating with the patient in every part of the clinical research process
  • Examining the right approach for patient and industry to positively impact healthcare costs and patient outcomes
    through patient engagement
  • How can patient expertise create significant value to the industry?
  • What are the best practices and strategies to guarantee that patient centricity is at the forefront of pharma?

Moderator:

Panelist: 

  • Many biotech/pharmaceutical companies are talking about ”Patient Centricity”, but how can a company actually operate
    in a patient-centric way to create meaningful value?
  • Learn best practices to transition from being product centered to patient centered
  • Discuss strategies to embed patient centricity throughout your organization.
  • Patient Centricity requires new mindsets, relationships – and structures, company-wide.
  • No stage of development, from discovery through delivery, gets a pass.
  • No company function continues as before.
  • Company culture changes, too.
  • This isn’t easy but the results are worth the journey: to improve outcomes for patients and business performance alike.
  • If Patient Centricity is a fad, then it’s a failure. It should be the new way of doing business.
  • Sharing insights into a live real-world example of this type of partnership
  • Explaining the roles and responsibilities in achieving a positive outcome
  • Providing key learning to the evolving process
  • Supplying the audience with guiding principles for future partnerships

what people say

Thank you for a good experience with the PARADIGM Global Events… very high level, very good Organization, we overpassed our expectatives, we will be pending for another congress related to pharmaceutical and biotech… we learned a lot, and i think that the content of agenda was state of the art, thank you again.
Salvador Berrios
ERP/ CRM / Product Configurator Manager
The consistently high quality of international faculty was most impressive. It was also obvious that they were carefully chosen not only for their particular expertise but also for their ability to communicate the subject matter to clinical and non-clinical participants alike. As market access consultant for pharma clients of various sizes, I now feel much better prepared to explain the nuances & dynamics involved in bringing their products to market. In addition, I am in a much better position to intelligently advice my clients & help them set realistic expectations
Thomas Martin
Associate Vice President, VCGA - Quintiles
I was impressed with the organization of this event. I attend many conferences per year and find the organizers on site to be detached and not focus on good service to the delegates. This team was even providing weather forecast warning to ensure everyone was aware and made appropriate plans. Well Done.
