How to Build a Health Information System with Rich Patient Insights: 19 Industry Leaders

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Feb. 03, 2020/PRNewswire/ -- A well-integrated health information system allows pharma companies to store and access patient insights collected at numerous touchpoints throughout the patient journey. Companies often rely on multiple vendors to help build health information systems that are aligned with the company's system; thus a company must have a clear vision of what it needs from a vendor and a health information system.

A recent Best Practices, LLC study involving 19 industry leaders found that a vendor liaison was a critical part of success or failure; only 10% of study respondents who have built these systems relied on a vendor entirely. More commonly, a liaison was designated to work with vendors to ensure compatibility with the existing system.

The study, "Health Info System Excellence: How Top Biopharmas Build Integrated Data Systems to Fulfill Patient-Centric Clinical & Commercial Objectives," evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of six of the industry's leading health information vendors. It also illustrates how peer pharma companies utilize a mix of vendors, data types, and internal protocols to create and maintain highly effective health information systems.

Best Practices, LLC engaged 19 leaders from 18 pharma and biotech companies in this research through a benchmarking survey. Four leaders were further engaged in deep-dive interviews to capture additional insights.

This 44-page report examines current trends across this issue, including:

• Objectives for using health information systems
• Types of clinical and non-clinical research data collected
• Creation of health information system and vendors used
• Six vendor ratings, selection criteria and SWOT analyses
• Roles of health information vendors and style of collaboration
• Patient centricity leadership and roles
