The growing impact of high-cost specialty drugs, coupled with shifting roles for health practitioners, calls for stakeholders to work together to improve drug plan efficiencies. But how?
To help answer the question, Benefits Canada organized its 2011 Face-to-Face: Drug Plan Management Forum around the theme of specialty drugs. Held at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto on Dec. 1, 2011, the event drew an audience of more than 130 individuals. The following articles highlight the forum’s expert presentations, personal testimonials and panel discussion:
- Best ways to save on your drug spend
- Mercer’s survey of Canadian drug plans
- Living well with rheumatoid arthritis
- The reality of chronic disease treatment
- Biologics and the law
- Drug plan lessons from the U.S.
