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

TECHNOLOGY SPOTLIGHT – Trial finder solutions – The evolving role of Patient Recruitment Platforms (PRPs) to Improve the last mile
The last mile of patient recruitment—connecting interested patients to sites—often breaks down. This session explores how PRPs such as Trialbee’s Honey Platform™ strengthens that handoff through invisible, backend infrastructure that reduces missed connections and improves enrolment at scale.
- Where patient-to-site handoffs fail
- Why a single backend matters across studies and regions
- How the Honey Platform improves conversion without changing the patient experience
