IQVIA™ is The Human Data Science Company™, focused on using data and science to help healthcare clients find better solutions for their patients. IQVIA offers a broad range of solutions that harness advances in healthcare information, technology, analytics, and human ingenuity to drive healthcare forward.

IQVIA’s Medical Evidence Practice (MEP) and Patient Centered Solutions (PCS)

Our MEP team’s mission statement is to support the expansion of patients’ access to innovative medicines by planning, generating, and disseminating high quality medical evidence. Our Patient Centered Solutions team, within this practice, delivers on strategic research that amplifies the patient’s voice in this evidence generation process.

The PCS team leads the industry in the science of measuring the patient experience. We help our clients by applying our consulting expertise and technical scientific knowledge to design and execute scientifically rigorous research that incorporates the patient voice into the development and commercialization of new medicines. This research includes qualitative (e.g., patient 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 physician experiences and expectations of disease and treatment.
