Trust and transparency in Pharma & healthcare: impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

July 25, 2022 | COVID-19, Virtual collaboration, digital opinion leaders, health literacy, key opinion leaders, transparency, trust 

While it is obvious that trust in life science and healthcare companies is suboptimal, exactly how to improve the public’s trust is unclear…

“…Of course, we also need to consider where (from who) the information is coming from. Doctors, pharmacists, and other health experts are more trusted than life science CEOs, government leaders, and journalists. Among healthcare institutions, academic medical research institutions are the most trusted. For Pharma, this means that establishing authentic relationships with trusted and approachable physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and academics should be a top priority. In addition to traditional key opinion leaders (KOLs), digital opinion leaders (DOLs)–an emerging group of stakeholders for Pharma to engage with–are well-positioned to share scientific data with the general public. 

Pharma teams should work directly with KOLs and DOLs, as well as with patients and caregivers, to design public-facing videos, websites, handouts, and educational campaigns in order to get the right messages across. When events that might erode public trust do occur, be open and honest with your advisors and get their input on how to respond to negative press in a transparent and sincere manner.”
