14 Sep PPI & PACT
Benchmarking Patient Advocacy in the Life Sciences Industry
At OVID Health, we have years of experience supporting clients to develop and deepen their patient advocacy activity. We believe patient centricity is essential to delivering better healthcare. In fact, we think it should be taken as seriously as ESG.
Our industry-leading Patient Partnership Index (PPI) and Patient Advocacy and Centricity Tracker (PACT), provide opportunities to showcase best practice in partnerships, and to benchmark organisational approaches to patient advocacy.
PPI and PACT take a holistic view of patient partnerships, across six themes:

The Patient Partnership Index: Showcasing best practice in industry-patient partnerships
Launched in 2020, the Patient Partnership Index (PPI) is a pro bono initiative, which gives patient groups, pharmaceutical and biotech companies an opportunity to showcase, benchmark and evaluate the quality of their patient partnerships.
The aim is to celebrate examples of best practice in the fields of Patient Advocacy, Communications, Market Access and Uptake, Clinical Trials or Research and Development, to raise the bar across the whole industry.

The Patient Advocacy and Centricity Tracker: Putting patient centricity on a par with ESG
“It’s so important to measure this so companies have the right processes to lead programmes.”
Building on our years of experience working with clients and delivering the PPI, and grounded in academic research and patient insights, OVID Health has developed the OVID Patient Advocacy and Centricity Tracker (PACT).
The OVID PACT is a proprietary measurement tool which companies can use to assess, track and demonstrate the quality of their patient centricity activities and, in time, benchmark themselves against competitors by producing a Patient Advocacy and Centricity (PACe) Score. Working in partnership with our team, companies can improve their scores as well as communicate their results and meet future targets.
Have you made a PACT to improve outcomes for patients? Do you want to know whether you are keeping PACe with your competitors? If so, get in touch to find out more by emailing [email protected].
