2023 Presentations

The conference chair and the NACDS leadership present on the state of the industry and other relevant business and policy initiatives. NACDS is pressing on three important fronts. The Association is advancing long-standing priorities of pharmacy reimbursement and pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) reform. It is sustaining and enhancing broadened pharmacy services post-pandemic. And it is focused on ensuring present and future value for chain and supplier members through a vigorous health and wellness focus.

The CMS Innovation Center’s refreshed strategy focuses on moving the delivery system toward meaningful transformation–emphasizing equity, payment based on value to the patient, and person-centered care that meets people where they are. Over the past year, the Innovation Center has created an actionable roadmap for moving forward and recently released a specialty care strategy that highlights the importance of integrating more providers into value-based care arrangements. Join the Innovation Center’s Purva Rawal for thoughts on how pharmacy aligns with this forward-leaning direction.

Our healthcare system is evolving to prioritize better health and quality of care for all. Especially in the wake of COVID-19, pharmacies continue to make unparalleled impacts on healthcare access and value across communities.
