ZS publishes book on reinventing patient centricity and using patient-led business models

Sharon Suchotliff and Hensley Evans wanted to capture their years of experience working directly with biopharma companies and patients to share how critical it is to put the patient at the center of the healthcare ecosystem. The result is a book that offers a provocative perspective of not only why patient centricity is important, but how companies can change their mindsets and practices to achieve it.

Experts across ZS contributed to the book’s chapters, including Michael Thomas, Fiona Taylor, Albert Whangbo, Lisa Bance, Nikita Reznik, Emily Mandell, Torsten Bernewitz, Mary Ann Godwin, Victoria Summers, Tanya Shepley, Sophie Kondor and Greg Fry. ​

“ZS presents an impactful and introspective book that navigates the intricate landscape of patient centricity, shifting from a moment to movement. You vividly see and hear the lived experience of diverse patients and their care partners, who are at the heart of the book's curiosity, scientific evidence and comprehensive insights. While making the case for patient centricity, it does not assume omniscience. The book welcomes us all as mere mortals to search our blind spots, working toward a more equitable and inclusive healthcare ecosystem that improves not just the patient experience but the humans experiencing it. An ‘ah ha moment’ is available for every stakeholder.”

“Patient centricity is a comprehensive approach relevant for everyone in pharma. It ensures that we ask, “What is the best thing for the patient?” throughout product development and all the way to post-approval to ensure we are meeting patient needs beyond the medicine. This book poses proactive ideas for pharma and examples of what great can and should look like in patient centricity—a must read for the industry!”
