The Role of Pharmacy Leadership and Operations in the Optimization of Rare Disease Care Pathways: A Panel Discussion


Wednesday, December 18th, 2024 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CT

Rare diseases can be difficult to recognize, which often limit patients' access to necessary care and ultimately affects patient outcomes. Ensuring patients are connected to the most appropriate, effective treatment pathways starts with health systems' commitment to better identifying and diagnosing individuals with these conditions.

During this webinar, key findings from a recent survey of health system executives, including senior pharmacy, service line leaders and administrators, will be shared, followed by a panel discussion of how Pharmacy Leaders have implemented changes at their institutions to best meet the needs of patients with rare diseases.

Learnings include:
 
  • The role of pharmacy operations in optimizing the care delivery journey for patients with rare diseases
  • Best practices for improving access to provider-administered medications for patients with rare diseases
  • Examples of how pharmacy leaders have worked to improve patient access and outcomes for patients with rare diseases at their institutions
