Patient Centric 3.0: Why a Direct-to-Patient Model Is a Game Changer

At the Frontiers Health 2024 event, Scott Snyder, EVERSANA’s Chief Digital Officer, led a panel discussion titled “Patient Centric 3.0: Why a Direct-to-Patient Model Is a Game Changer,” where industry experts explained the transformative impact of DTP healthcare models in prioritizing patient empowerment and streamlining access to care.

 

In the panel discussion, Snyder and the other panelists highlighted how DTP models innovatively focus on reducing barriers within the healthcare journey as they emphasized the critical need for accessible, consumer-driven care and discussed the role of digital health solutions in enabling patients to have more control over their healthcare experiences.

 How are Direct-to-Patient models improving the patient experience? 

• Patient Empowerment: DTP models allow patients to take control of their healthcare by removing traditional barriers and offering more accessible, consumer-driven experiences.
• Increased Accessibility: DTP addresses medical deserts and long wait times by delivering care directly to patients, offering quicker access to consultations and treatments.
• Improved Adherence: by streamlining the patient journey and providing timely medication delivery and reminders, DTP models help increase medication adherence and improve health outcomes.
• Consumer-like Experience: patients today expect a personalized experience similar to the convenience of online shopping, and DTP models aim to meet these expectations in healthcare.
• Data and Insights: DTP models enable the collection of valuable patient insights that can drive continuous improvement in care delivery and help tailor treatment plans.

DTP models empower patients with greater control over their health journeys. These models enhance accessibility, reduce barriers to care and improve adherence to treatment plans. By integrating digital tools and personalized support, DTP models offer a more patient-centric approach, addressing critical gaps in the healthcare system.
