Research pharmacies
Real-world effectiveness studies and patient-reported outcome (PRO) data are increasingly used to guide decisions in pharmaceutical care. In research pharmacy operations, pharmacies act as trusted healthcare providers, collecting real-world data to support the development of more effective and personalised treatments.
Real-world effectiveness research in pharmacies
Pharmacies are key partners in gathering insights directly from medicine users about their treatment experiences. Through surveys, we collect current data on quality of life, health behaviours and other relevant aspects of everyday care.
Oriola coordinates an internationally unique research pharmacy network, with one in five pharmacies in Finland already participating. Together with these pharmacies, we carry out several major studies each year across a wide range of therapeutic areas. Participating pharmacies are compensated for their contributions.
Taking part in research strengthens the professional expertise of pharmacy staff. This socially valuable work supports better patient care and makes pharmacists' role in healthcare more visible in daily pharmacy practice.
Research for the benefit of the patient
The goal of real-world effectiveness research is to improve patient outcomes. At the same time, the insights generated benefit the broader healthcare system. Patients are motivated to take part by the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of treatment for their condition. The personalised service provided during research also supports customer engagement and builds loyalty to their trusted research pharmacy.
