Key Thoughts on Controlling Pharmacy Spend for Hospitals
Tuesday, February 26th, 2019 | 1:00pm - 2:00pm CST

As large purchasers of drugs, hospitals face significant financial burden when prices increase — some quite dramatically in short periods of time — and absorb the excess costs when reimbursement rates do not keep up.
Hear what strategies and initiatives executives and senior leaders from University of Missouri Health Care, UChicago Medicine, Adventist Health, HonorHealth, Baylor Scott & White Health, and LRMC are implementing to help control pharmacy spend in this webinar with Becker's Hospital Review.
