CRANBURY, N.J. (PRWEB)
September 03, 2019
PM360, a publication for marketing decision makers in the pharmaceutical, biotech, diagnostics, and medical device industries, recently named The Lynx Group’s toolkit, Patient Navigation in Cancer Care 2.0: Guiding patients to quality outcomes, as a Trailblazer Initiative finalist for Healthcare Provider (HCP) Education.
The toolkit contains Pfizer Oncology content examining the history and evolution of navigation, core competencies, current models of navigation, and the role of the navigator along the cancer care continuum. It also explores the importance of administrative engagement and outlines standardized metrics for the development of a successful, measurable navigation program. The toolkit was developed as a resource for professional and program development for institutions committed to making a difference in the lives of patients and in shaping the future of value-based cancer care through navigation.
“It’s an honor to be selected as a 2019 Trailblazer finalist by PM360 for this initiative,” says Brian Tyburski, President & CEO, The Lynx Group™. “The Patient Navigation in Cancer Care 2.0 toolkit was the result of close collaboration with the client and dedication of our talented team. It has been well received thus far, and our client has engaged us to develop additional toolkits to address metastatic breast and prostate cancer. We are confident that this resource will be valuable for all navigators to use and share with their administrators and oncology team to make a difference in the lives of their patients and shape the future of value-based cancer care.”
Since 2009, the PM360 Trailblazer awards have recognized outstanding achievement and innovation in healthcare marketing. Each year, nominations are judged by the PM360 Editorial Advisory Board, a distinguished cross-section of industry experts. Winning initiatives were selected for their ability to stand out in the complex, ever-changing healthcare environment, and were judged on their ability to overcome challenges; the skill, innovation, and quality of planning and execution; and the effectiveness of the work. A total of 84 finalists were chosen in the 17 Initiative categories.
“Each of the 84 finalists survived a daunting evaluation process by our judges to emerge as the best among an exceptional crop of submissions,” says Anna Stashower, CEO and Publisher of PM360. “Ultimately, their innovative strategies and impressive results are industry breakthroughs—and they provide exciting examples of the type of boundary-pushing work our industry is doing as it embraces change.”
Finalists are acknowledged and winners will be honored during a special black-tie reception at Gotham Hall in New York City on Thursday, September 19, 2019. Each year, the Trailblazer Awards Gala attracts more attendees from the pharmaceutical industry than any other industry event. Profiles of all of the night’s winners will appear in PM360’s October issue.
