What are today’s challenges for pharmaceutical companies?
Furthermore, services and solutions can help patients better manage their own disease (and health!) and improve treatment adherence. Pharmaceutical companies are therefore taking an increasingly broader role in the care pathway as well as outcomes measurement, in order to help physicians and patients to achieve the best treatment outcomes and demonstrate the value of their products. In this way the role of pharma companies is changing from a product supplier role to a healthcare partner role.
Why VBHC for pharma?
As pharma is increasingly scrutinized and pushed to generate real world evidence (RWE), VBHC is a key enabler to collaborate with other stakeholders to ensure your innovative products reach their full potential beyond clinical trials as well as demonstrate their value. It also provides the opportunity to position the company as a collaboration partner rather than a distant supplier.
What do we see as key success factors for pharma in VBHC?
• Collaboration requires trust. As a pharma company, you need to show your true intentions and reliability in your behavior to earn a seat at the table
• VBHC requires a strategic and long-term focus, with full management buy-in and aligned expectations on short- to long-term returns
• Healthcare system adaptations (e.g. common definitions, (inter)national infrastructure, data exchange) are required to drive and embed large-scale change
• It is key to also enhance patient centricity within (R&D) processes, by involving patient representatives and including patient-relevant outcomes
