  Who Should Attend?

The target audience for this activity consists of specialty pharmacy professionals and other managed care pharmacy professionals attending the Specialty Pharmacy Summit 2020.

  Statement of Need/Program Overview

More than a dozen disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) are available for the treatment of MS with several additional novel therapies in late stage development. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment is essential to minimize the MS disease burden and limit use of limited health care resources. Therefore, a high level of disease and therapeutic knowledge is necessary to effectively and efficiently manage the disease.

The continually evolving MS treatment landscape accentuates the need for increased disease and therapeutic knowledge amongst managed care and specialty pharmacy professionals in order to optimize clinical outcomes, reduce treatment variability, and increase patient engagement in their own care. This program highlights opportunities for managed care and specialty pharmacy professionals to enhance the management of patients with MS by implementing and/or recommending evidence-driven practices and administrative routines based on current clinical trial data.

  Educational Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate improved ability to:
  • Discuss where current and emerging therapies fit into the MS management algorithm
  • Review the potential impact of and value of real-world evidence to inform clinical decision making in MS
  • Explore how to integrate electronic health technology into MS care management
  • Employ treatment optimization approaches to balance costs with improved outcomes in MS management
