Pharmacy Track

The IDN pharmacy supply chain plays a vital role in patient outcomes. Hospital pharmacy executives continue to look for innovative methods of improving quality while keeping costs low. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, a new administration, and the uncertainty surrounding new and existing rules has created complex challenges for your pharmacy department. This track will outline action plans to prepare for 2021 and beyond, including using updates to USP Rules, changes to the 340B program, rules changes impacting reimbursements, ways to optimize pharmacy revenue and build a successful KPI strategy, and much more.

In this session, we will cut through the uncertainty and review the outlook of 340B Program, including the current status of litigation and the Biden administration’s actions to date. We’ll also offer strategies to reduce the impact of these reimbursement uncertainties.
