Pharmacy operations face intensifying financial pressure from every direction—reimbursement reductions, drug cost inflation, regulatory changes, and shrinking margins that threaten sustainability. Revenue cycle optimization is no longer a back-office concern but a strategic imperative requiring executive attention and cross-functional coordination. This session examines how pharmacy leaders are navigating financial challenges while preserving access to essential medications and maintaining operational integrity.

Learning Objectives:
1. Identify critical revenue cycle vulnerabilities and margin compression drivers affecting pharmacy financial performance across IDN settings.
2. Assess strategies for revenue capture optimization, charge integrity, and reimbursement maximization without compromising compliance or patient access.
3. Distinguish between short-term financial interventions and sustainable approaches to margin protection based on organizational experience and outcomes.
4. Develop financial resilience strategies that address both immediate pressures and longer-term sustainability challenges facing pharmacy operations.
