Plan your evaluation
What is MentorConnect?

MentorConnect is PatientPartner’s human peer-mentorship offering. Patients connect with a relevant person who has lived experience, through chat and phone. Your team gets the conversation records, oversight tools and engagement insights around that relationship.

How is PatientPartner different from Snow Companies or Reverba?

PatientPartner is built around the peer conversation: relevant mentor connections, chat and phone, conversation records, KMS monitoring and engagement insights in one platform. Snow and Reverba offer broader patient-program services. The clearest way to compare is to walk through the patient journey and the tools your team will use every day.

We already have an internal ambassador program. Why add a platform?

Your ambassadors already have experience worth sharing. PatientPartner gives that experience a place to become ongoing one-to-one support, with connection, oversight and reporting tools around it. We’ll map how it fits alongside the strategy and relationships your team already owns.

How should we evaluate compliance and adverse-event monitoring?

Ask each provider to demonstrate monitoring, escalation, review ownership and documentation. PatientPartner describes safeguards, monitoring and audit trails in its platform. Confirm the controls, responsibilities and security documentation required for your specific program. Review PatientPartner’s compliance overview.

What outcomes can we measure?

Start with engagement activity and patient-reported experience, then agree on the outcomes, data access and methodology your program needs. A request for a next step is different from a confirmed treatment start, and activity metrics alone do not establish causal impact.

How would PatientPartner fit into our existing program?

Bring your patient entry points, ambassador relationships, review requirements and reporting needs. We’ll map the mentor experience, platform setup and responsibilities to your program, then define the implementation scope together.

Can we evaluate PatientPartner for medical devices or clinical trials?

Yes. Bring the relevant patient journey and program requirements to the demo. PatientPartner has dedicated solutions for medical device engagement and clinical trials. Evidence from one program should be assessed in its own context rather than generalized to another population.
