SUMMARY:DFWHC "340B" hot topic webinar
DESCRIPTION:The DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) and marketing partner ELEVATE340B will host the “Hot Topic” webinar “340B: Landscape\, Compliance and Optimization” on June 29 from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. This educational event is intended for hospital-covered entities participating in the 340B drug-pricing program.\n\nThe webinar will be introduced by DFWHC President/CEO W. Stephen Love\, who will also participate in the Q&A.\n\nThe 340B Drug Pricing Program provides discounted prices on covered outpatient drugs to eligible entities. The program’s intention is to “stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible\, reaching more patients and providing more comprehensive services.”\n\nDue to the program’s growth\, there has been increasing scrutiny in the political sector. Such heightened awareness makes it imperative to focus heavily on compliance and optimization. Through the hundreds of audits conducted by ELEVATE340B\, they continually find that entities face challenges controlling WAC\, GPO and Orphan drug spending. In addition\, savings opportunities are available.\n\nELEVATE340B will speak on the importance of running a compliant program and how optimization goes hand-in-hand with the process.\n\nTo register\, click here.\n\nFor information\, please contact Jourdan Pruit at jpruit@dfwhc.org or call 469-648-5116.
