 Expert Faculty

The program will feature a multidisciplinary panel including an EoE clinical specialist and Northwest Region managed care/payer experts.

  Who Should Attend?

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of AMCP Northwest affiliate members in the roles of pharmacy directors, clinical pharmacists, specialty pharmacists, medical directors, registered nurses, quality directors, and other pharmacists and physicians affiliated with various MCOs, health systems, and other payer organizations.

The CE is clinically focused, and Impact Education is hoping to get feedback and engagement from those at health plans and PBMs on how the disease is presenting in the region and how payers are navigating the treatment landscape.

  Statement of Need/Program Overview

EoE is difficult to diagnose and treat, and as a result is associated with a high disease burden. Once payer decision makers recognize the disease has consequences and associated costs, they are interested in streamlining and standardizing its management to improve access to appropriate care. Managed care and payer professionals are well positioned to design and implement policies that have a considerable influence on patient access to appropriate care of EoE. Based on findings from previous initiatives, disease state baseline knowledge and awareness still needs to be improved and payers continue to need additional education to apply regional health plan best practices to improve EoE management. Incorporating an understanding of regional variances in EoE into healthcare strategies can ultimately lead to better outcomes for individuals with this condition while optimizing the utilization of healthcare resources and managing costs.

  Educational Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate improved ability to:
  • Discuss the diagnostic journey of patients with EoE and the importance of early diagnosis
  • Assess evidence-based treatment strategies and resources for optimal patient outcomes in EoE
  • Employ regional benefit design strategies that facilitate appropriate patient access to evidence-based treatment options for EoE
  • Implement collaborative regional payer/provider initiatives to improve the treatment of EoE
