Quality Measurement and Improvement Initiatives

Quintiles Outcome is the only real-world and late phase services and technology partner that is also a leader in the development and management of Quality Measurement and Improvement (QI) programs. QI programs can have a profound effect on factors critical to the pharmaceutical and medical device industry, such as physician and institutional prescribing or product use behavior, payer reimbursement, and guidelines at the point of care. QI programs focus on improving the quality of patient care by providing easily accessible treatment guidelines as well as real-time reporting feedback and reinforcing these messages through structured communication programs.

Creating a quality improvement program can provide the following benefits:

• Create a long-term strategic and competitive advantage for your company and product
• Distinguish your product or company as a thought-leader in a specific disease area
• Drive appropriate sales for specific therapeutic areas
• Influence prescribing behavior and patient compliance
• Improve quality of patient care
• Demonstrate effectiveness of your product
• Improve brand recognition
• Prove product value and more

We design, manage, and implement these programs, including one study that has more than one million patients enrolled, for life sciences, government, and healthcare organizations.
