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 2017.

STATEMENT OF NEED / PROGRAM OVERVIEW

There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but new effective drugs are increasingly available to treat the disease and prevent deformed joints. Currently, the RA therapeutic pipeline is robust and includes agents that utilize novel mechanisms of action (MOAs) and various administration strategies (eg, oral, subcutaneous injection). The educational format of The Specialty Pharmacy Review BoardTM will feature a multi-specialty, multi-professional faculty that collaborate, under the leadership of an Activity Chair, on the review of the clinical data, current guidelines, and economic data of a class of therapeutics. Similar to a mock pharmacy and therapeutics committee format, the program will include time for peer-to-peer discussion and debate among the diverse group of faculty members and the audience.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate improved ability to: Assess decision support tools to enhance medical and pharmacy benefit design decision-making for patients with RA Interpret results of decision support tools with health plan affiliated rheumatology professionals to improve outcomes for patients with RA Employ specialty pharmacy and disease management services that can improve the quality of care for patients with RA Provide accurate and appropriate counsel as part of the managed care treatment team
