Philips and Augusta University Partner to Improve Patient Care: Interview with Philips CMO | MICHAEL BATISTA | medgadget.com | 6 November 2018
Philips and Augusta University Health are working together in a long-term partnership for the co-development of clinical solutions such as a hybrid operating room.
A great interview with a fab insight into such a developing, ‘co-creative’, partnership between Philips and Augusta University Health.
The boldness of embarking on a ‘new’ and ‘first-time’ project as ‘co-creators’ by Phillips will, hopefully, help to bring about new things such as hybrid operating rooms quicker and with less problems, meaning patients will see new gadgets in hospitals and doctors consulting rooms quicker as a result. Thus resulting in helping to improve Patient Care.
Of course naturally, there will always be things to iron out as time moves on, but hopefully they won’t have too much of that! ~ Carole – own words and opinions
Quoted from text: Dr. Joe Frassica
“This relationship is a departure from traditional client-vendor relationships and allows for co-creating of clinical solutions. Instead, this is a true partnership where we collaborate to understand Augusta’s needs, and work together to develop a game plan that will enable them to meet their patient care goals.”

Being a person with varying debilitating problems I am classed as being disabled. I don’t look particularly disabled and I have the capacity to get on my feet and move around. However, the excessive level of joint hypermobility, dreadful balance and coordination and vertigo make me a bit of a liability when walking around. I use walking stick sometimes one, sometimes two, or I have my electric power chair for getting around town in.
There is never a time when I go out that I don’t come across some form of discouraging and negative incidence, whether it is just a simple sneer from someone when they see me stand up, or climb out of the wheelchair to walk to the Ladies bathroom, to the people who just plain and simply can’t accept that not all people who are disabled are paralysed. I’m not bad-mouthing those who are paralysed because they come under just as much unfairness and scrutiny which is why this campaign by SCOPE is so important.
It is time that we were experiencing better fairness and equality, in fact it is well overdue, yes, naturally I’m biased about that but at least I can acknowledge the problem and stand up and fight for the cause. Not just for myself but for all the FibroFlutter followers and supporters out there who also need this to happen.
Workplaces need to be better equipped, employers need to be educated, but most of all the Government shouldn’t just recognise our issues but start doing something about them.

Our mission is to make pharma more open and valued
The ultimate driver for the pharmaceutical industry’s health is meeting the needs of patients, otherwise it will cease to matter. For healthcare to be as good as it could be, the strength, skills and resources of our industry need to be fully integrated into health outcomes and we need pharma experience at the decision-making table.
We believe the industry must focus on a business model combining service with product, with patients at the center.

Read all about this very soon in my post conference review!
Only 3 weeks to go and we’ll be packing our little cases and boarding the train to London, will you be there?
I can’t believe how time has flown past and the conference is only a few weeks away. It is really exciting to be involved and helping to collaboratively bring about changes within the world of medical healthcare.
Helping to close the gap between pharma and patients and increase relations, encourage collaborations and stave off the ideas that patients can be manipulated.
Thanks to eyeforpharma’s regard towards Patients, ‘Patients Included‘, and giving us a platform to share our patient voices, and our input during roundtables and panel discussions at their pharma conferences we can help pharma improve the products and services they make. Help improve patient engagement programs / or, PSP’s Patient support programs between pharma and patients in ways that improve service design, product and service quality using collaborative methods and utilising all stakeholders to produce end results.
Will patient-centricity win-over pharma in London, how are companies becoming patientcentric, which companies are trying to be patientcentric?
Is patient- engagement working for pharma, what isn’t working? It can’t all be perfect!?
How is the concept of ‘Patient-engagement’ progressing is it proving to be useful, or does it need to be reassessed as a tool?
Innovation is also hot-topic as new ways of producing things have developed, including the use of AR, VR, AI, 3D printing and robotics to help improve surgical procedures, general medication delivery systems and even new bones and not that long ago even skin tisue, for a few examples.
Also, the different new ways that innovation is assisting clinical research and especially biopharma, health education videos for hospitals and HCP’s, and much more from the world of digital. Will we see some of that in London within the innovation, science and technology sector of the conference?
Of course aside from the World of Medical Affairs is the Impatient Conference and the part of the journey where we really do hope to make a difference. It really has been designed by patients and the hope is that we can help bring patients and pharma closer together at this Pharma & Patient Co-creation event.
How are pharma increasing patient relations, are they rebulding our trust yet?
How will we as patients convince pharma to make the necessary changes required to rebuild their pharma-patient relations?
What does pharma believe it should do? Do we as patients agree with pharma? If not, how do we compromise so that solutions can be formed and progression can continue. Otherwise this time next year we will still be discussing it!
It’s time for pharma to stop ‘saying’ and start ‘doing’, be more proactive and begin to move forwards.
