Dávila Saldaña, MD Attending Physician, Division of Blood and Marrow Transplantation Director, Combined Immunodeficiency BMT Clinic Fellowship Director, Bone Marrow Transplant and Cell Therapy Children's National Hospital Associate Professor of Pediatrics George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences James Kenney, RPh, MBA President JTKENNEY, LLC   Who Should Attend? This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of managed care pharmacy directors, registered nurses, clinical pharmacists, quality directors and medical directors.   Statement of Need/Program Overview Primary immunodeficiency (PI) affects >500,000 people in the United States, with a significant proportion of individuals with milder immune system defects suspected as not being formally diagnosed. The occult nature of PI symptoms and an overwhelming cache of potential differential diagnoses result in frequently delayed diagnoses and misdiagnoses, culminating in a lack of access to effective treatment and worsening outcomes. Rapid growth within PI’s diagnostic and therapeutic space is coupled with distinctly higher claims among patients whose diagnosis and appropriate treatment are delayed. These challenges are compounded for managed care professionals managing rising healthcare expenditures and the specialty drug trend. By instituting applicable coverage criteria, these stakeholders can improve the recognition and management of PI within their plan populations and ultimately impact total costs.   Educational Objectives At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate improved ability to: Describe the potential signs and symptoms of primary immunodeficiency (PI) in addition to predominant screening and diagnostic modalities Assess available therapeutic options for PI based on disease type and patient characteristics Characterize the adverse effect of excess cost-sharing on and prohibitive coverage criteria on patient access and adherence Implement medical and pharmacy benefit design strategies that improve access to therapy and manage costs with evidence-based clinical care for PI   Agenda Date and Time Wednesday, October 12, 2022 6:00 AM - 6:30 AM - Registration and Breakfast 6:30 AM - 8:00 AM - Program Gaylord National Harbor Room: National Harbor 10 National Harbor, MD 6:00 AM Registration and Breakfast 6:30 AM Pre-Activity Learning Assessment and Opening Comments James Kenney, RPh, MBA 6:35 AM Clinical Overview of Primary Immunodeficiency: Signs, Symptoms, Screening, and Diagnostic Modalities Blachy J.
