Featured Session
Panel: Talking the Talk – Communication Strategies Behind Better Medication Adherence
A Deep-dive Into Specialty Pharma
A specialty drug is a class of prescription medications used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions. Although this classification was originally intended to define the treatment of rare, also termed “orphan” diseases, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US, more recently, specialty drugs have emerged as the cornerstone of treatment for chronic and complex diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.
The care continuum already offers several opportunities to reinforce medication adherence. Now, the approaches to increase adherence are also multiplying: from technologies that better leverage mobile and EHR to simpler medication regiments to better communication skills of caregivers. Hear about new communication tools and techniques that are working, enabling adherence and improving patient outcomes.
