  • VIEW TOC AND LIST OF EXHIBITS
With patients playing an active role in the decision-making process, biopharma organizations are leveraging their Medical Affairs groups to effectively engage with patients and/or patient advocacy groups. And as a key conduit between pharma and patients, Medical Affairs groups are well-positioned to understand and represent the patient voice at the company. This effort broadens Medical’s role beyond its traditional focus on HCPs to include capturing patient voice to help develop products that will address patients’ needs.

Best Practices, LLC undertook this benchmarking research to understand Medical Affairs’ role in patient engagement. The report specifically examines early-stage and late-stage patient support strategies, roles and responsibilities, and internal and external collaboration for patient engagement. This report also highlights critical lessons learned and pitfalls encountered in capturing and representing the patient voice through Medical Affairs.

Medical Affairs leaders can use to this report to expand impact and amplify the patient voice within the biopharma organization.

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged 27 Medical leaders from 26 pharma and biotech companies in this research through a benchmarking survey. Deep-dive interviews were conducted with selected study participants to provide further insights. Data in this report are segmented by respondents’ description of their medical team’s effectiveness with patient engagement – highly effective vs. less effective.

Key topics covered in this report include:

  • Medical Affairs and Patient Engagement - An Overview
  • Representing the Patient Voice
  • Strategies for Early-Stage and Late-Stage Patient Support
  • Medical Affairs’ Roles and Responsibilities in Patient Engagement
  • Medical Affairs Internal and External Collaboration for Patient Engagement
  • Lessons Learned and Pitfalls

Key Findings

Select key insights uncovered from this report are noted below. Detailed findings are available in the full report.

  • Patient Engagement: While medical groups are active at patient engagement across product phases, groups identified as effective at engaging patients are more active during clinical trials (67% vs. 47%).
  • Collecting Patient Voice: Outcomes data and partnering with treatment teams are considered effective by Medical Affairs groups for collecting patient voice during the early launch phases.
