Affairs and Public Policy groups support patients.
Methodology: Best Practices, LLC engaged 16
Public Policy and Government Affairs leaders at 15
life sciences companies through a benchmarking
survey instrument. In addition, research analysts
conducted deep-dive executive interviews to
collect qualitative data and insights.
Research Project Objectives, Methodology & Results
Best Practices, LLC conducted this benchmarking survey to capture industry metrics on
the level and type of support that Government Affairs and Public Policy (abbreviated as
“GA/PP”) functions provide to programs and initiatives designed to engage patients.

Companies with Chronic Care Therapies Are Highly
Active Along Key Support Fronts
Among the best-represented therapeutic areas examined in the GA/PP study were Diabetes
and Oncology, where 33% of benchmark companies are actively engaged with advocacy,
payer, legislative and other community groups.

Seek High GA/PP Impact With Advocacy Groups
GA/PP groups juggle a host of activities and programs designed to improve patient treatment decisions.
Partnering with patient advocacy groups was the most frequent tactic, occurring at 87% of companies.
Two-thirds of the industry are also active in community outreach programs (e.g., screening events),
influencing payer policy, and influencing federal disease policy. Though slightly less common, a majority
of GA/PP groups also work to influence state legislation (60%) and disease guidelines expansion (53%).

60% Of GA/PP Groups Do Not Fund Engagement
Directly
Though all benchmarked GA/PP groups are highly active in driving patient engagement, only 40%
actually fund these programs themselves. The other 60% of GA/PP groups receive funding from
elsewhere in the organization, most often from a central Marketing function or from business units. For
the GA/PP groups who invest spend resources directly to engagement activities, the percentage
allocation of total GA/PP budget ranged from 1% - 30%, per three responding peer companies.
(n=15)
Does the budget for your Gov't Affairs/Public Policy function include funds for any of the patient engagement activities
and initiatives listed above? [Choose one]
