About NPC

Our Vision
NPC communicates the economic, clinical and societal value of pharmaceuticals. NPC advances the appropriate use of pharmaceuticals for the betterment of human health.

Our Mission
NPC conducts, supports and disseminates research for health care decision makers and public and private payers on behalf of the research-based pharmaceutical industry. NPC has three major strategies:

  • Development of intellectual assets
  • Partnering with member companies and outside organizations to achieve maximum impact
  • Direct dissemination of programs and products

Our Objectives
Replace component management of the drug budget with a systems approach to valuing pharmaceutical therapy based on:

  • Integrating pharmaceutical care into total patient care
  • Recognizing the total cost/benefit over time
  • Aligning incentives
  • Developing more accurate measures for integrated pharmaceutical care

Foster appropriate use of pharmaceuticals through:

  • Timely and accurate diagnosis
  • Initiation of treatment for diagnosed conditions
  • Rapid adoption of "state-of-the-art" therapies
  • Sustained compliance by patients
