The LLM Inflection Point Moment and the Implications for the Specialty Pharmaceutical Industry

Épisode 67

mercredi 6 décembre 2023 • Durée 18:48

Recent advancements in AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) have caught the world’s attention and for good reason. It’s a big deal.

Specialty pharmaceuticals are typically costly, sometimes ranging from $10,000 to over $5 million per patient, per year. The onboarding and approval process that come with these drugs are complex, requiring extensive effort from manufacturers and patients to get enrolled. Despite massive investments in people, processes, and systems, engagement remains a struggle for all.

In this episode of Digital Conversations, Greg Johnsen and Greg Kefer discuss the implications of bringing conversational technology to the specialty pharma industry and how digital assistants use smart, compliant language to interact with patients and guide them along their journeys from prescription moment to program enrollment to first fill, and beyond.

The Conversational AI Platform Requirements for Delivering Exceptional, Personalized Patient Experiences

Épisode 57

lundi 25 avril 2022 • Durée 17:46

Conversational AI is rapidly maturing and becoming a viable technology option for healthcare organizations that need to digitize and scale patient engagement. Language-based user interfaces are ideal for reducing engagement friction and navigating high complexity. But technology experiences that are high on the user friendliness scale also require robust technology platforms below the waterline to make everything happen.

Alex Thorpe, who runs product development at Lifelink Systems, joined Greg Kefer to discuss the platform requirements to deliver outcomes and patient satisfaction. Healthcare organizations are saddled with a complex array of internal systems, regulations, processes that must be part of digital patient communications. The conversational platform of the future must bring a combination of integration, configuration, and analytics capabilities in order to achieve the level of scale and adoption the industry so desperately needs.

One Nurse’s Perspective on the Patient Experience, a Shrinking Workforce, and Technology

Épisode 56

mercredi 16 mars 2022 • Durée 21:13

The nursing profession is one the most cherished professions there is. Those who take the plunge are true heroes that must work long, hard shifts to help patients of all types get through very difficult situations. When the COVID pandemic hit, nurses had to take things up to another level in order to deal with the massive waves of sick patients that flooded the healthcare system.

Logan Scarbeary, who spent a decade in a nursing role at a major academic medical center, joined Greg Kefer to share his perspectives on the current state of the industry. While nursing was always a difficult environment to work in, there was an element of fun in rising to the challenge and pushing through. Unfortunately, COVID made it impossible to actually do the work. Technology is one of the problems. Too many hours are spent typing data into systems. It frustrates caregivers, it frustrates patients, and it’s expensive. Logan believes the future lies in smart digital assistants that can take on the redundant processes and communications, which will free the care teams to do what the do best: take care of people.

For Patients, Administrative Hassles Can Be Worse than Getting Sick, and That’s Got to Change

Épisode 55

vendredi 11 février 2022 • Durée 16:51

A recent study looked into patient perceptions about the administrative side of healthcare and found that tasks such as setting appointments, completing paperwork, and getting prior authorizations have gotten so hard, many patients have chosen to defer care to avoid the hassle. Investments to give patients the tools to manage their own healthcare have not paid off. At the same time, technology is making things easier in other business sectors.

In this episode of Digital Conversations, Samir Khanna and Greg Kefer discuss the issues that are driving the collective patient administrative headache that shows no sign of abating. Technology is capable of providing patients with some relief, but all too often, investment priorities are driven by the need to improve processes and productivity within the organization. If patients are saying they would rather go to the DMV than deal with healthcare, maybe the time has come to refocus priorities.

In an Era of Tight Labor Capacity and High Demand, Digital Workers are the Path Forward

Épisode 54

vendredi 21 janvier 2022 • Durée 16:16

The most lasting impact to the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to be the healthcare labor shortage that shows no signs abating. Hundreds of thousands of workers have left the field, and it’s not just doctors and nurses. Nearly one third of healthcare spending is in the administrative domain and that sector has seen massive reductions in the support staff that typically help patients navigate the complexities associated with getting healthcare.

The labor shortage also isn’t just impacting healthcare providers. The life sciences industry is also experiencing challenges in staffing clinical research projects, or supporting patients that have complex therapy programs. In this episode, Justin Mardjuki and Greg Kefer discuss the ongoing challenge of staffing and how technology can play a role in replacing lost human capacity with automated digital outreach. By automating work that is typically scripted, repetitive, and high volume, advanced conversational tools also help patients on their journeys, keep them engaged, and improve outcomes.

A Post-COVID Prescription for Healthcare Systems: One That’s Predicated on Massive Digital Engagement Scale that Builds Patient Trust and Delivers Outcomes

Épisode 52

jeudi 11 novembre 2021 • Durée 25:48

Well before the COVID-19 pandemic put a new level of pressure on healthcare, the industry was struggling to deliver patient experiences that were on par with retail, banking, or travel. With more consumer companies evolving into healthcare services providers, the pressure to engage patients at scale became intense for hospital systems. Then COVID-19 arrived, which first pushed capacity to the limit, and has since created an environment that has driven a mass exodus of healthcare workers. If ever there was a time for advanced digital engagement, it’s now.

In this episode of Digital Conversations, Jay Roszhart, President of the Ambulatory Group at Memorial Health, joined us for a deep discussion about how he envisions the future of healthcare — one that is predicated on building loyalty, trust, and long-term relationships. Jay is driving a digital transformation that is designed to make the patient experience as easy as using Google or Facebook. He describes how conversational chatbots were deployed to handle a huge amount of demand, which allowed stretched care teams to focus on the complicated things that only humans can do.

In one example, Jay describes how conversational AI technology allowed Memorial Health to execute more than 70,000 digital conversations with patients about COVID-19 test results over a two month period. The initiative saved 10-15 FTEs worth of time, and resulted in a 96% patient satisfaction rating.

Pharmaceutical Companies Can Lead the Healthcare Industry into the Age of Digital Consumer Engagement. Friction is the Enemy and the Opportunity.

Épisode 50

mardi 19 octobre 2021 • Durée 19:03

Despite countless billions of dollars spent, and decades of effort, healthcare still lags behind other industries when it comes to successfully using digital technologies to interact with its customers — the patients. The ongoing challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in rapid advances in digital health solutions and telehealth. The pharmaceutical industry essentially performed a miracle in delivering several effective new drugs in just months.

Bradford Lee, VP of Life Sciences at Lifelink Systems, sat down with Greg Kefer to share some of the developments he’s been part of in his role working with top innovation executives across all segments of the pharmaceutical industry. The combination of big organizations, legacy processes, and heavy regulation have historically held back rapid innovation and Silicon Valley thinking, but that may be changing.

Mature technology that's mobile and conversational is lowering the friction barrier for patients and trial participants. Healthcare providers are showcasing their digital transformation successes, paving the path for the entire industry. We are also seeing the traditional internal barriers for digital transformation come down as life science companies begin to look for ways to deploy simple, effective solutions quickly to get wins on the board and begin to generate the kinds of results needed for wide-scale innovation. Healthcare may be on the cusp of finally catching up to the other consumer industries that the leaders keep saying they want to emulate.
