Part 3: Patient-centricity
Given our everyday exposure to excellent customer experiences in most areas of our lives, as patients, our expectations for an excellent ‘patient experience’ are increasing. Studies suggest, however, that this need is not fully being met by the pharma / biotech industry. What does pharma need to do to bridge the gap between these expectations and the current level of delivery? In the third of our 4-part series ‘The Pharma Marketing Reset,’ we explore:
1 – Driving greater focus on the patient including:
– Gaining a better understanding of patient needs
– Developing better measurement models to track patient-centric strategies
– Investigating how services beyond the product can help meet these needs
2 – The implications of an increased focus on patients for marketing, particularly for the current organisational structures of marketing teams
3 – Practical tips for being a patient-centric brand team
