Developing and executing high-impact Patient Support Services (PSS) is of critical importance as manufacturers strive to create patient-centric customer experiences.
As markets evolve rapidly, manufacturers are challenged to assemble the right insights, tools, technologies and strategies needed to deliver Next-Gen PSS.

Key Business Questions
Many questions need to be answered to enable an impactful PSS offering that is truly patient-centric:
What are the core needs of patients and providers in this therapeutic area (TA)? Are they different from other patient populations?
What innovation or new approaches may be needed to address these needs?
What are other manufacturers in the TA and adjacent TAs offering? How well are those programs performing and what can we learn from them?
What are the key drivers of adherence for the patient population? How can tools and programs be developed around them?
How should performance—and impact—be measured? What metrics represent patient satisfaction, and how may those metrics differ from traditional measures?
What data sources are required to understand the patient journey fully and accurately? How can the organization act on these insights?
How does Patient Services work with marketing to provide an integrated, curated and optimized Patient Experience?
How do you demonstrate the impact of Patient Services to executive leadership? What metrics can you talk about?
Building and driving an optimal Patient Services strategy requires a patient-centric focus and a full commitment to investing in the patient relationship over time.
