The Patient Education Gap

You educated the doctor.
But Reddit and ChatGPT is confusing the patient.
40% never start.

Your field force trained thousands of physicians on your therapy. But doctors only have 7 minutes per visit. Patients leave overwhelmed and confused - and confused patients don't start treatments.

The Enterprise Reality: These Problems Are Costing You Millions

Your current patient support programs aren't solving the fundamental issues driving
market underperformance.

01

High Prescription Abandonment

40-50% of specialty prescriptions never filled at the pharmacy

02

Low Treatment Initiation

Patients delay or avoid starting therapy despite physician recommendations

03

Rapid Drop-Off Within 6 Months

60% of patients discontinue treatment early, undermining clinical outcomes

04

Slow Market Growth vs Competitors

Your therapy loses market share while competitors capture prescriber attention

05

Lost Revenue

Billions in unrealized revenue from prescriptions that never convert to sales

06

ROI Gaps in Patient Support

$30-75M annual PSP investments delivering diminishing returns and poor metrics

The Problem

Patients Are More Confused Than Ever—And Your Current Programs Can't Fix It

Specialty therapies are complex. Patients need extensive education about mechanisms, administration, monitoring, and side effects. But physicians only have 13-24 minutes per appointment. This gap is killing your prescription fill rates.

The Critical Gap in Patient Education

78% of patients leave clinical visits unclear about their diagnosis or next steps. They retain only 60% of what they heard—within 72 hours, that drops to 20%.

Then comes the real decision: at the kitchen table, after 6pm, with family who weren't in the exam room. Patients Google their medication, find Reddit horror stories, and ask ChatGPT—trained on predominantly negative health content.

People Go to ChatGPT for Health Information

ChatGPT reaches your patients before they sign up for treatment, and it’s trained mostly on negative health content.

You can't control ChatGPT. But you CAN amplify your physician network's trusted voice.

The Kitchen Table Reality: Where Healthcare Decisions Actually Happen

Patients don't make treatment decisions in the clinic. They make them at home, with family, days after the appointment—when they've forgotten 80% of what their doctor said.
