The Instrument Licensing Solutions and Patient & Site Strategy (ILSPSS) team leads the industry in generating data to ensure that the patient voice is incorporated into the development and commercialization of medication and other drug/non-drug interventions. We focus on understanding and meeting the needs of our clients through the application of broad consulting expertise and technical scientific knowledge to conduct scientifically rigorous research.

This research is broad and includes qualitative (e.g., interviews, focus groups), quantitative (e.g., clinical outcome assessments (COAs)/patient-reported outcomes (PROs), preference research) and passive (e.g., digital health technology tools) approaches to understand patient, caregiver, and healthcare professional experiences and expectations of disease and treatment. The team also manages and licenses out a COA portfolio of over 100 instruments and offers linked services to translate and implement these COAs on any electronic survey platform.
