STATEMENT OF NEED / PROGRAM OVERVIEW |
Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents a significant driver of morbidity and mortality in the US, despite being overshadowed by other predominant conditions for which more effective treatment modalities exist. The incidence and mortality associated with the disease is increasing, indicating a key area of concern for managed care stakeholders. An estimated 5.3 million Americans were living with AD in 2015, and as many as 7.1 million will be diagnosed with the disease by 2025 according to the Alzheimer's Association. By 2050, that number may nearly triple to a projected 13.8 million, barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent or cure the disease. Unsurprisingly, this considerable burden of illness associated with AD is also accompanied by extensive direct and indirect costs. This symposium will feature a multidisciplinary faculty panel who will present best practices for implementing collaborative treatment and patient management decisions that lead to optimal outcomes for patients with AD. This approach will enhance the audiences' ability to recommend and implement payer specific techniques to improve the continuity of care related to the impact of AD management strategies on clinical outcomes, value, and economic consequences for the entire health care system. The Specialty Pharmacy Review BoardTM format will be similar to a mock pharmacy and therapeutics committee meeting, featuring an expert panel including a leading neurologist in AD research and practice, a specialty pharmacy director, and managed care medical and pharmacy directors. |
