Using Patient Experience Data to Evaluate Medical Interventions: Generating, understanding and using patient experience data within and alongside clinical trials

by Matthew Reaney

Patient experience data (PED) is an increasingly important cornerstone in successful intervention development. This book is a must-have for both seasoned and early career researchers aiming to generate PED according to the latest guidelines, approaches and scientific standards.

Healthcare interventions are developed at a very fast rate. This is good news for (potential) patients. However, given the financial pressure healthcare systems operate under, it is important that interventions entering the market address patients’ needs, priorities and preferences. These can be best understood and measured through PED.

Scientifically rigorous, easily interpretable and actionable PED can help researchers and clinicians make pivotal decisions during the development and commercialization of interventions. But the field of PED research is a complex one, and it can be difficult to decide when and how to collect the right PED from the right population.

Using Patient Experience Data to Evaluate Medical Interventions brings together articles written by a unique combination of experienced physicians, medical researchers, social scientists and strategy consultants with a passion for patient-focused intervention development. The book aims to provide a robust overview of how PED can be generated during intervention development, and how it can be utilized to inform decision-making at the regulatory, payer, healthcare professional and patient levels.
