Register Today: 1st Annual Workshop for HTC Clinicians, Nurses, and Social Workers at the NHF Annual Meeting
As the Affordable Care Act (ACA) seeks to improve quality and reduce costs, hemophilia providers require enhanced skills to succeed in the new health care ecosystem. At the same time, rapidly evolving payer strategies, including medical necessity guidelines and benefit designs, are affecting patient access and out-of-pocket expenses, which can impact long-term outcomes for patients with hemophilia. Due to the advent of new and more costly treatment modalities, the management of pediatric and adult hemophilia patients has become more complicated for physicians, nurses, case managers, home health providers, social workers, and family/caregivers. In the absence of a collaborative educational effort, the full benefits of care coordination have not yet been achieved.
This program will offer key insights from the faculty panel who will engage in an interactive, case-based discussion with hemophilia physicians, nurses, and social workers attending NHF's 68th Annual Meeting. Through four unique workshops, the faculty will highlight best practices to collaborate with various managed care, specialty pharmacy, and payer professionals to provide appropriate access, adequate reimbursement, and comprehensive care for their patients with hemophilia.
