Patient Engagement: Investment, Sustainability & Impact (ISI)
Advancing the Future of Sustainable Healthcare through Patient Engagement
In today’s evolving healthcare landscape, Patient Engagement (PE) intelligence plays a crucial role. Key challenges can be addressed by transforming data about PE into actionable insights. The PFMD Patient Engagement: Intelligence project enables data-driven decision-making and demonstrates the value of patient engagement for all stakeholders. Experts and contributors are fostering collaboration and building a strong foundation for integrating PE intelligence across the healthcare ecosystem.
Within this initiative, the Patient Engagement: Investment, Sustainability, and Impact (ISI) project leverages PE data to inform investment strategies, support sustainability commitments, and guide impact assessments. This initiative highlights the value of patient engagement across healthcare and society through collaboration among the patient community, industry leaders, and investors.
