Navigating pathways in rare – key learnings
Written by Gavin Jones, Global Advisor, Rare Diseases on Monday, July 12, 2021
Having reached the conclusion of our second Rare Thoughts & Outcomes theme of the year, we are wrapping things up with a quick overview of the key learnings. We’ve enjoyed some insightful and wide-ranging conversations across communications, value, and leading-edge data generation. As always, there were fantastic contributions from the rare diseases community, and I was delighted to hear numerous patient-first opinions from even the most techy folk in our business! This is some of what we learnt:
- Better understanding of current experience through insights and data
- Lay language resources to guide through change
- Greater connectivity amongst healthcare professionals to cascade education and change
- Co-creation of pathway change with the true experts (i.e. the rare community)
- Harnessing and generating data to prove the sustained value of pathway change and innovative data
- Embracing technology without losing sight of who we are striving to serve
We hope that there are some useful thoughts and inspiration within these conversations and articles. These will remain available so please do dip into the content when you have a moment and contact Gavin if you have any questions or comments.
