WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of managed care pharmacy directors, clinical pharmacists, quality directors, medical directors, pharmacy directors, specialty pharmacists, quality directors, care managers, registered nurses, and other managed care and payer organization professionals.

STATEMENT OF NEED / PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The management of multiple myeloma (MM) is a priority area for MCOs in order to optimize clinically- and economically-appropriate care for their members. As novel agents become available, treatment decision making is becoming more complex and MCOs and other payer organizations need to appropriately and effectively design benefits that optimize both cost-efficiency and patient outcomes. Guidance is needed for the target audience to implement current guidelines, utilize clinical pathways, design appropriate medical and pharmacy benefits, and implement effective specialty pharmacy management services.

This interactive program is designed to engage the faculty and audience to develop solutions for managed care professionals to implement within their own setting to improve outcomes for patients with MM. Multidisciplinary faculty will be utilized featuring a managed care medical director, a pharmacy director, and a hematology/oncology expert.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate improved ability to:
  • Evaluate recent clinical data affecting evidence-based treatment guidelines for MM
  • Demonstrate the value of clinical pathways initiatives as a means of reducing treatment variability and improving clinical and economic outcomes in the management of MM
  • Implement comprehensive care strategies involving effective communication methods
  • Integrate innovative oncology pharmacy benefit models with specialty pharmacy management services
