PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The management of multiple myeloma (MM) is a priority area for MCOs in order to optimize clinically- and economically-appropriate care for their members. As novel agents become available, treatment decision making is becoming more complex and MCOs and other payer organizations need to appropriately and effectively design benefits that optimize both cost-efficiency and patient outcomes. Guidance is needed for the target audience to implement current guidelines, utilize clinical pathways, design appropriate medical and pharmacy benefits, and implement effective specialty pharmacy management services.

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 with MM. Multidisciplinary faculty will be utilized featuring a managed care medical director, a pharmacy director, and a hematology/oncology expert.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

After completing the activity, participants should be better able to:
  • Evaluate recent clinical data on new and emerging MM therapies
  • Align managed care MM treatment algorithms with recent clinical trial data
  • Employ health coaching strategies to increase patient engagement in their care and enhance outcomes
  • Demonstrate the value of care pathways initiatives as a means of reducing treatment variability and improving clinical and economic outcomes in the management of MM
