Basal insulin – while a highly effective therapy – is also costly and can lead to a decrease in medication adherence and persistence. In 2023, the Inflation Reduction Act included a price cap on insulin for Medicare beneficiaries. Together with the Pharmacy Quality Alliance, Inovalon set out to discover the impact of the price cap by comparing differences in persistence rates before and after implementation. The results of this analysis have far-reaching implications for policy makers, health plans, providers, manufacturers, and other stakeholders as the price cap will be extended to other drugs in the future. Join us for a first look to understand: * The early impact of the out-of-pocket price cap on insulin * Barriers to taking diabetes medications, including disparities related to low income and disability * How the application of price caps for other drugs can improve Medicare outcomes and lower costs Christie Teigland, Ph.D.VP, Research Science & Advanced Analytics, Inovalon Razanne Oueini, Pharm.D., MScSenior Manager, Performance Measurement, Pharmacy Quality Alliance Connected Healthcare Ecosystems Life Sciences BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS: INTEGRATING RCT DATA WITH REAL-WORLD OUTCOMES Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are pivotal in advancing medical science and patient care, serving as the benchmark for the regulatory approval of new therapeutics. By integrating RCT data with real-world data (RWD) through advanced tokenization and data-linking techniques, researchers can gain a comprehensive view of patient experiences. This integration improves understanding of therapeutic outcomes in diverse real-world conditions and socioeconomic factors affecting care. Such enriched data landscapes revolutionize treatment protocols and enables personalized medicine, optimizing interventions and health outcomes. Join our session as experts dive into: * How data-linking and tokenization bridge the gap between controlled trial settings and real-life patient scenarios * Critical ethical considerations, including patient consent and data privacy * The ways data integration is reshaping clinical research and fostering improvements in long-term health outcomes * The role of integrated datasets in identifying and addressing socioeconomic barriers to healthcare access Scott RobinsonVP, Health Economics & Outcomes Research, Inovalon Jen LamppaAVP, Clinical Analytics, Inovalon Tigwa DavisSenior Director, Health Economics & Outcomes Research, Inovalon Enabling Innovation at Scale Payer A CONVERGED APPROACH: SYNERGIZING QUALITY ANALYTICS AND RISK ADJUSTMENT When health plans use separate vendors for their quality and risk efforts, efficiency gets lost when translating the work done by individual entities. Utilizing a single vendor to integrate and manage a unified quality and risk program addresses broad clinical challenges, including faster mechanisms to close care gaps, improve coding accuracies and reporting, and reduce the cost of care for payers while providing improved outcomes for members. Join us for an in-depth conversation with Scott Sbihli, Senior Vice President of Product at Inovalon, as he discusses how breaking down the existing siloes between quality and risk can effectively improve healthcare delivery, outcomes, and cost savings. You’ll learn how: * Costs are reduced when simplifying the number of vendors * Healthcare innovation has lagged due to outdated technology * Members expect a consumer-like experience when interacting with your health plan Scott Sbihli SVP, Product Management, Inovalon Empowering Patient-Centric Care Provider FROM HARM TO HARMONY: DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF SAFETY IN HEALTHCARE Having a strong culture of patient safety is a cornerstone of excellent care, and is also crucial for the well-being of healthcare professionals. This session will explore how providers can build an effective culture of safety across all care settings to ensure improved outcomes. By examining successful strategies for fostering transparent communication and cultivating a safety-first mindset, the panelists will share how to advance safety for patients and clinicians alike, to ultimately enhance the overall care delivery process. What you’ll learn: * Real-world examples of successful safety initiatives and their impact on healthcare outcomes * Strategies for shaping a culture that prioritizes safety for patients and healthcare professionals * Effective practices for creating safer work environments that contribute to high-performing care settings Moderator: Dr. Paige KilianChief Medical Officer, Inovalon Hayley BurgessSVP, Provider Surveillance and Safety, Inovalon Missy DanforthSVP, Health Care Ratings, LeapFrog Rita VannVP, Clinical Operations, Prestige Healthcare 1:00 - 2:00 PM LUNCH & NETWORKING KEYNOTES Visionaries, innovators, and trailblazers – our keynotes ignite inspiration, spark meaningful conversations, and pave the way for a conference filled with knowledge, connection, and transformative ideas.
