The Accenture Intelligent Patient Platform helps life sciences companies provide patients with comprehensive, outcome-driven patient services such as program enrollment, adherence management and treatment education over the full course of treatment for an illness or disease. It allows companies to rapidly deploy precise patient services based on the requirements of unique patient segments by providing an integrated set of capabilities across patient engagement and patient data management, including connected devices, apps and analytics.

The Accenture Intelligent Patient Platform is designed to evolve with the addition of new applications aimed at delivering supplementary services to meet patients' changing needs. The new platform will enable life sciences companies to quantify the impact of their patient programs across all modes of engagement, such as in-person and digital, so they can refine program effectiveness and continuously improve the patient experience.

With components built on Salesforce 1 including Salesforce Fullforce Solutions and the Accenture Insights Platform, the Accenture Intelligent Patient Platform provides several business benefits to life sciences companies, their customers, and their patients.

  • Patients can start a therapy faster and easily get the help they need to manage their condition;
  • Providers can receive increased support in their patient care goals of quality, affordability and engagement;
  • Payers can more rapidly get the information they need for reimbursement; and
  • Pharmacies can get the correct information they need to fill prescriptions eliminating unnecessary follow-ups with physicians and patients.



"The Accenture Intelligent Patient Platform is playing an important role helping life sciences companies deploy their patient engagement strategies and facilitate better patient interactions and outcomes," said Tony Romito, managing director, Accenture Life Sciences. "Now companies can have real-time insight into the full patient journey and work across the healthcare system to effect meaningful change in support of the patient."

"The Accenture Intelligent Patient Platform is the result of the close working relationship between Salesforce and Accenture," said Kori O'Brien, vice president, global alliances and industry solutions, Salesforce. "We believe this Fullforce Solution will empower customers in the life sciences industry to connect with, care for and engage patients in meaningful new ways."
