Why patient centricity must be built into outsourcing

  • Reframe patient centricity from “initiative” → “operating model”
  • Patient centricity is no longer a differentiator
    → It is a baseline expectation from regulators, investors, and patients
  • Yet most organizations still treat it as:
    • A set of tools
    • A functional workstream
    • Or a late-stage overlay
  • Patient centricity only scales when it is embedded into how we select, contract, govern, and operate with vendors
  • Outsourcing decisions shape: study design feasibility, site experience, patient burden, speed, quality, and retention
  • If patient centricity is not designed into outsourcing, it will not survive execution
