Current guidance on advancing patient-centricity in Medical Affairs is insufficient. A framework was previously proposed from a Medical Affairs perspective, without direct patient input, featuring five focus areas: medical strategy; medical communication; evidence generation; patient engagement; and patient care experience. We conducted a literature review to evaluate and provide background on those focus areas. Consequently, two new focus areas were identified: digital health and patient medical education. Because the patient perspective provides an important value-add, we consulted on the seven priority areas identified with patient and patient organizations through questionnaires. The gathered responses implied that they were accurately prioritized to increase patient-centricity. However, this must be tested on a larger sample size to validate its feasibility.
目前在医学事务中推进以患者为中心的指导意见还不够。之前曾从医学事务的角度提出了一个框架，没有直接的患者参与，其特点是五个重点领域：医学战略；医学沟通；证据生成；患者参与；和患者护理体验。我们进行了文献回顾，以评估和提供这些重点领域的背景信息。因此，确定了两个新的重点领域：数字健康和患者医学教育。因为患者视角提供了重要的附加值，我们通过问卷咨询了患者和患者组织对这七个优先领域的意见。收集到的回复表明，这些意见被准确地优先考虑，以提高以患者为中心的程度。然而，这必须在更大的样本量上进行测试，以验证其可行性。
