  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 Managed Care & Specialty Pharmacy Annual Meeting.

  STATEMENT OF NEED / PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Psoriasis is one of the most common autoimmune diseases to develop in genetically susceptible individuals with an estimated 7.5 million Americans afflicted by psoriasis; and psoriatic arthritis is considered to be one of the most disabling types of arthritis affecting as many as 2.3 million Americans. Direct annual health care costs assigned to the management of psoriatic disease is estimated to be as high as $2.0-3.0 billion. As novel agents become available, treatment decision making is becoming more complex and managed care professionals need to appropriately and effectively design benefits that optimize both cost-efficiency and patient outcomes.

The Managed Care Review BoardTM format features multi-specialty, multi-professional managed care, and clinical specialist faculty who collaborate on the review of the clinical data, current guidelines, and economic data of a specific class of therapeutics. It uniquely provides the audience with a review of important, relevant therapeutic category information and features peer-to-peer exchange between a diverse group of managed care and clinical specialist 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' psoriatic disease. This approach supports managed care pharmacists by enhancing the results of their own health care organization's systematic literature reviews and analyses.

  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate improved ability to:
  • Analyze the available evidence-base for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in a true CER framework
  • Assess current and emerging therapies for the treatment of psoriasis and PsA and cite their clinical trial data
  • Address nonadherence factors associated with various therapies for psoriasis and PsA
  • Integrate interventions to coordinate health plan and affiliated providers efforts in the health care reform era that will lead to better outcomes for patients with psoriasis and PsA
  • Provide accurate and appropriate counsel as part of the managed care treatment team
