  Who Should Attend?

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of managed care pharmacy directors, registered nurses, clinical pharmacists, quality directors, medical directors, members of the AMCP, and other managed health care professionals attending the AMCP 2022 Managed Care and Specialty Pharmacy Annual Meeting.

  Statement of Need/Program Overview

Novel treatments and management strategies have the potential to target the underlying pathology resulting in decreased clinical and economic burden for the patient and health care system. However, managed care pharmacists and other payer professionals can lack knowledge of the clinical, economic, and humanistic burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) which can empower them to enact health care benefit policy strategies to reduce the disease burden and enhance the potential for optimal treatment outcomes.

  Educational Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate improved ability to:
  • Explore the spectrum of clinical, economic, and humanistic burden of AD
  • Review clinical data from recently approved and emerging AD therapies
  • Evaluate benefit design strategies that can contribute to appropriate access and utilization, while simultaneously managing costs and improving treatment outcomes
  • Assess the benefits of multidisciplinary care in AD patients
