Target Audience

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of managed care pharmacy directors, clinical pharmacists, quality directors, medical directors, specialty pharmacists, care managers, registered nurses, and other managed care and payer organization professionals.

Statement of Need/Program Overview 

This activity can help managed care organizations and other payer types be better prepared to address the mounting challenges associated with rare, high-cost conditions such as hemophilia by formulating a comprehensive rare disease strategy. In doing so, it is necessary for payers to strike the appropriate balance between the urgency to respond to patient needs and the interpretation and application of the latest evidenced-based data while considering financial impact, value, and affordability, along with variation in coverage and its effects on access. This activity is designed to address these needs in order to improve clinical, economic, and humanistic outcomes for patients with hemophilia.

Educational Objectives 

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to

• Discuss alignment of recently available and innovative therapies in the evolving hemophilia treatment algorithm
• Assess rare disease payer strategies and care management approaches for optimal outcomes specific to hemophilia
