Nicole Hebbert (SVP, Head of Patient Support Services, UBC), Jennifer Lim (Director of Patient Services, UBC), UBC partner SK Life Science and various industry experts spoke with PharmExcec.com about the impact a patient support program or ‘Hub’ can have on patients and prescribers during a pandemic.
Assets in Anxious Times: Patient Hubs Demonstrate Value During COVID-19 article explores in detail how a hub can ease patient access, drive patient engagement, and more effectively enable speed and efficiency to therapy through technology – even throughout a global pandemic.
In-person visits have drastically prohibited patients from visiting the site of care, whether from shelter-at-home mandates, office closures, or potential fear from patients exposing themselves to the virus, hub services can ease patient’s treatment anxiety and provide supplemental options to navigate their access.
