I need some good song suggestions, I have been wanting to check out some new music or songs I've missed.

Anything song that reminds you of these two I will be very happy to hear!

Drive Patient Engagement by Pledging to Patients

by Cynthia Grossman, Director

In today’s health-care environment, you would be hard-pressed to find someone who would disagree that patients should be at the center of everything we do. Despite this widely accepted belief, there is still much work to be done to make this sentiment a reality. When it comes to patient engagement, we are still learning to walk the walk instead of simply talk the talk.

The good news is that there has been an expansion over the past few years in efforts to directly engage patients across the continuum of medical product development and delivery. Now we must build upon this foundation by encouraging more organizations and individuals to add their voices and action to further accelerate patient engagement in medical R&D.  

This is why FasterCures is excited to partner with Patient Focused Medicines Development (PFMD), a Brussels-based non-profit coalition focused on lifting up the patient voice across the lifecycle of medicine, to expand the suite of patient engagement initiatives contained in its SYNaPsE platform as well as to share its Pledge to Patients.  

Take the Pledge

The Pledge to Patients is an easy but significant step that all individuals, no matter their role in the health-care ecosystem, can take to acknowledge their commitment to patient engagement and join an accountable, global community that is driving this work forward. The pledge was created and endorsed by PFMD members. Members of PFMD are institutions or organizations that are eager to see a better future for patients and are working to drive impactful patient engagement worldwide. The Pledge to Patients was founded on the belief that small, individual action can lead to long-lasting, widespread change.

Through this pledge campaign, our goal at FasterCures is to help PFMD get to 1,000 pledges by October 5. PFMD’s goal is to engage the entire biopharma ecosystem worldwide to support the advancement of patient engagement and bring the reality of better solutions and outcomes to patients.

We encourage you to take the pledge and commit to joining the cause of advancing patient engagement and changing the health-care system for the better. Visit the pledge records page to see how others in the field have committed to the movement, and feel free to share with your networks. We are eager to see how this group of like-minded pledge-takers, who understand the power of patients, will shape the future of how medical products are discovered, developed and delivered.

Expanding the Patients Count Resource Library

In addition to sharing the Pledge to Patients, our partnership with PFMD will allow us to expand our Patients Count Resource Library through PFMD’s SYNaPsE platform. This platform is an incredible resource that gathers patient engagement initiatives in a searchable database, allowing individuals and organizations to connect as they seek to push the field forward. In the coming months, FasterCures will transition our resource library into the SYNaPsE platform; PFMD will host the library moving forward.

We are excited about this partnership with PFMD and the opportunity to multiply our patient engagement efforts on a global level. Stay tuned for updates about the resource library transition and the outcome of our Pledge to Patients campaign!  

Sign the Pledge to Patients and commit to driving patient engagement forward
