Patients + Profitability™

Every patient journey is also an economic one.

I'm Patrick R. Coyle. I spent 25 years in finance leadership, 18 of them in pharma. Now I help patients understand the system they move through, and I help the industry fix the places where people fall out of it.

The ecosystem

One conviction at the center. Two audiences around it.

Patient outcomes and sustainable profitability rise and fall together. Everything I build starts there. Click any part of the map to go deeper.

Your path as a patient or caregiver. Find where treatment stops, prepare before the pharmacy, then learn how the system works.

Your path as a life sciences team. Learn the economics, align the functions, transform with data, execute with people.

For patients and caregivers

Everyone is a patient at some point.

Most people lose their therapy somewhere between the prescription and the pharmacy counter. Knowing where that happens is the first step to keeping it.

For life sciences teams

Patient friction creates revenue leakage.

Your approval rate is not your access rate. It describes the prescriptions that survived long enough to be measured.
