Who Should Attend? This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of managed care pharmacy directors, clinical pharmacists, quality directors, medical directors, members of AMCP, and other managed health care professionals attending AMCP Nexus 2015. Statement of Need/Program Overview The value proposition for oral anticoagulants can be realized in a number of ways: fewer clinically-significant events, fewer hospitalizations, fewer physician office visits, less disability, and generally improved work productivity and quality of life. Managed care pharmacists will benefit from education and training regarding the value-based benefit approach to the management of patients who require anticoagulation to prevent stroke and systemic thromboembolism. The Managed Care Review BoardTM format features review of important, relevant therapeutic category information and features peer-to-peer exchange between a diverse group of managed care and clinical specialty faculty contributors. 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 requiring oral anticoagulation therapy. This approach supports managed care pharmacists by enhancing the results of their own health care organization's systematic literature reviews and analyses. Educational Objectives After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to: Identify the risk of thromboembolic events associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) Utilize recent updates to the anticoagulation treatment guidelines Apply measures used to drive quality improvements in anticoagulation care Employ the benefit design methodologies for managed care organizations (MCOs) to improve the overall value of anticoagulant therapies Provide accurate and appropriate counsel as part of the managed care treatment team
