MOUNT PLEASANT, SC, USA, April 30, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As Archo unveils the highly anticipated annual rankings in our "ELAVAY: PATIENT INSIGHTS. ELEVATED HEALTHCARE." report, Archo Advocacy takes pride in recognizing the top 10 pharmaceutical & biotech patient advocacy teams that are reshaping patient care in the industry. These rankings are derived from extensive, direct feedback from patient advocates, professional societies, & community-based organizations, reflecting a holistic view of the teams that are not only meeting but exceeding the needs of those they serve. This year's report highlights the pivotal role of patient advocacy in enhancing healthcare outcomes & underscores the continued commitment of these teams to effective patient engagement & policy advocacy.

The "ELAVAY: PATIENT INSIGHTS. ELEVATED HEALTHCARE." report is a critical tool for understanding the effectiveness of patient advocacy programs. It evaluates teams based on their engagement, support, & commitment to improving patient outcomes through direct interaction & policy advocacy. Feedback is collected in several critical areas, including the healthcare companies’ leadership in:
• Partnership & Programmatic Support
• Federal & State Government Policy-Related Activities
• Corporate Image & Reputation
• Expanding Access & Education for Patient Treatment
• Patient Advocacy & Community-Based Organization Relationships
• Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
• Health Equity & Social Determinants of Health

Hunter Fasanaro, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Archo Advocacy, pointed out, "It is essential to acknowledge the great difficulty of ranking among the top 10 patient advocacy organizations. These organizations have gone above and beyond in engaging with the patient advocacy and patient community, which sets them apart from the more than 70 organizations on which we have collected feedback. The Elavay report provides feedback on over 70 pharmaceutical and biotech organizations, and it offers both quantitative and qualitative feedback on what each team has done well and where they can improve their efforts to engage with the community. While recognizing that dozens of other organizations are included in the report, such as GSK, ViiV, Astellas, Biogen, or UCB, all of which have received great feedback from patient advocates and community-based organizations, these top ten organizations stand out.”
