The Challenge

A pharmaceutical manufacturer preparing to launch a critical rare disease therapy faced a complex cascade of operational hurdles:

  • Massive coordination requirements across multiple business units, third-party vendors, and fragmented data systems.
  • A late-stage FDA-mandated REMS program that demanded sweeping, immediate changes to the entire patient journey.
  • Implementation of a mandatory Hub model requiring Direct-to-Patient delivery alongside a Nurse-first support approach.
  • Severe resource strain caused by internal stakeholder turnover and a partner mid-CRM migration happening simultaneously.

The Solution

Zealic took charge of translating the client's evolving Patient Support Program (PSP) workflows into a highly configurable, digitally enabled experience. In close collaboration with the manufacturer and their HUB partner, we deployed a comprehensive operational blueprint:

  • Unified Orchestration: Enabled seamless orchestration across both digital and interpersonal touchpoints for patients.
  • Branded Patient Engagement: Built a branded patient application featuring omnichannel communications.
  • Complex Integration: Connected across the HUB CRM, copay platforms, fulfillment centers, and specialty pharmacy systems.
  • End-to-End Visibility: Established complete transparency for all stakeholders from initial prescription to final fulfillment.
  • Workflow Enablement: Incorporated nurse-led educational tools, copay utilization metrics, surveys, and real-time shipment tracking.
