Specialty pharmacists play a vital role in managing therapies for patients with complex and rare medical conditions. Among their essential roles within multidisciplinary care teams, specialty pharmacists are involved in developing individualized treatment plans, providing comprehensive education on medications, and ensuring patients adhere to regimens. PTCE is pleased to partner with Asembia to collaborate on the Asembia Specialty Pharmacy Day of Education: Winter 2024. This event will bring specialty pharmacists focused education they can apply in practice to best collaborate with other health care providers to optimize medication therapy and monitor patients' progress. Session topics will focus on evolving treatment and management strategies for biologics in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as well as specialty pharmacist involvement in treatment plans for patients with primary biliary cholangitis experiencing cholestatic pruritus. Several of the sessions presented during the day will incorporate artificial intelligence to analyze current challenges and concerns on the use of biologics from the patient and health care provider perspective, allowing participants to communicate their views and respond to these insights in real time. An expert-led panel discussion will examine perspectives on strategies for pharmacists to improve patient outcomes, enhance quality of life, reduce health care costs, and support access to specialty therapeutics.
Throughout the day, participants will be able to engage with expert faculty to discuss new and emerging therapies, including biologics, clinical guideline updates, and recent safety and efficacy data to identify resources needed to successfully implement new therapies, optimize adherence, and support patient care.
The sessions presented during the Asembia Specialty Pharmacy Day of Education: Winter 2024 will provide practical education to pharmacists in the specialty pharmacy practice setting, including pharmacy benefit managers, specialty pharmacy directors/managers, managed care pharmacists, payers, health plan administrators, medical directors, and formulary decision-makers.
