Patients with rare diseases need care beyond what takes place only in a provider’s office. They may need extra assistance at home or getting to appointments or more specific information about their disease state and treatment protocols. And their needs can only be met by organizations that can deliver the highest level of care. In this session, URAC’s Director of Pharmacy will interview a panel of experts to discuss trends in rare disease pharmacy management. You’ll hear from members of URAC’s pharmacy review team and experts who provide rare disease patient care in their pharmacies. These leaders will share their insights on the future of caring for those with rare diseases, different examples of pharmacy models that provide rare disease patient care and what it means to understand the patient journey.
