Description
Dear Colleagues,
All partners in the healthcare equation agree that the patient should be at the heart of healthcare, from prevention and awareness, through research and development, regulatory and HTA decision making, to service design and outcomes measurement.
Realising this means developing collaborations between patients, patient organisations, healthcare providers, regulators, policy makers and life science companies.
Managing projects that include patient organisations and commercial organisations can be complex.
They must be centred on patient benefit; they must be fully transparent with clear objectives,
With this idea in mind, the EFPIA Patient Think Tank established the Health Collaboration Awards in 2015, to reward and acknowledge the value of such collaborative projects, not only between patient organisations and industry, but also local authorities, governments, SMEs and other key actors in delivering healthcare.
The Health Collaboration Guide seeks to highlight
No subject is off the table and as a group wehave discussed topics such as outcomes focused healthcare, medicines pricing, patient engagement in HTA, healthcare data and collaboration. The Think Tank is keen to take dialogue and debate beyond
As part of the Summit the Think Tank also hosts the Health Collaboration Awards for collaborative projects that have delivered patient benefit. The aim of the awards is to share best practice and provide food for thought and inspiration to stakeholders
transparent funding arrangements and well- defined outcomes. The EFPIA Patient Think Tank
is committed to facilitating the patient being at the centre of industry patient interactions through continuous dialogue and through supporting best practice in open and transparent collaboration.
