NPC @ PBMI's Annual Drug Benefit Conference

Westin Mission Hotel, 71333 Dinah Shore Drive, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270

NPC Vice President of Health Services Research Kimberly Westrich will present, “ACO Readiness: Maximizing the Value of Medications,” at the Pharmacy Benefit Management Institute’s Annual Drug Benefit Conference on Tuesday, March 1, at 2:25 pm PT. She will be joined by Erik Krisle, research manager at Leavitt Partners.

During this session, the speakers will present the results of a national survey and an in-depth qualitative study of the pharmaceutical practices of accountable care organizations (ACOs). The research investigates ACO adoption of various medication management practices and capabilities, the challenges associated with adopting medication management practices and capabilities, and the relationship between adoption of those practices and capabilities and ACO performance on financial and quality metrics. Results of the study have implications for how ACOs could deploy resources and investments relative to medication use in order to achieve the "Triple Aim."
