In today's healthcare landscape, accurately understanding patient experiences is crucial. On July 23, 2026, Xtalks will host a significant webinar titled "Use Patient Insights to Improve Real-World Data Quality". This event aims to dive deep into how various patient cohorts can be defined and selected, ensuring they represent the multifaceted nature of multi-morbidity.
The necessity for such a discourse becomes evident when we consider that most patients do not simply have a single health issue. Rather, they find themselves managing an intricate array of overlapping conditions and long-term treatment trajectories. However, traditional data models often reflect a simplified view of these complexities. This disconnect becomes a genuine challenge when regulatory entities and payers require evidence that aligns closely with the realities of patient life.
During the webinar, expert speaker Josh Feldman, Associate Director of Patient Insights at Inspire, will guide attendees through the nuances of patient cohort selection and the dynamics that lead to ineffective therapeutic discussions. Alarmingly, research indicates that approximately 40% of these discussions fail to lead to actionable outcomes. Attendees will gain insights into the payer challenges and psychological barriers that may cause patients to hesitate even when changes in treatment are recommended by healthcare professionals.
A crucial part of the conversation will be the introduction of patient-reported outcomes (PROs). These essential metrics serve to complement the traditional clinical markers, capturing functional impacts that are often overlooked. This shift towards integrating PROs is vital in painting a more comprehensive picture of patient health that goes beyond mere numbers and statistics.
Furthermore, the webinar will examine identity verification's rising importance. As high-quality research requires more rigorous standards, the demand for identity verification is growing. This will be discussed in context with their recent findings from the "Ipsos Pulse of 2026" study, which provides valuable insights into a verified high-literacy patient community. The study sheds light on how chronic conditions, fatigue, and daily functionalities can often drive therapy failures.
Join us for this enlightening event to learn strategies for building accurate patient cohorts and bridging critical gaps in treatment action. By utilizing patient insights effectively, life sciences teams can navigate the complexities of multi-morbidity and ultimately contribute to better healthcare practices and policies. Whether you’re part of the healthcare field, research, or patient advocacy groups, this webinar promises to offer invaluable takeaways that will enhance understanding, enhance data quality, and improve patient experiences.
