patient opinion leader
Patient Opinion Leaders (POL), also called patient advocates, are individuals who are well versed in a disease either as sufferers or caretakers of individuals with chronic disorders and share their knowledge on the particular disease with others.
This term is gaining widespread popularity among patients, healthcare providers and even the pharmaceutical industry. This can be either through print media or through online blogs and forums. Individuals who have tested all the options in a particular disease and have a flair for writing along with enough computer knowledge become the leaders in providing information about the disease and the outcomes of the treatment options. Such POLs have significant influence on the other readers who are either suffering from a disease or taking care of a diseased individual.
