OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION FROM CBI

The typical lag of 14-15 days is simply too long for a patient to wait for therapy initiation. The delay places undue stress on the healthcare system and hinders the pharmaceutical and payer industries from getting their products and services to their customers. This interactive and timely forum will explore the key challenges and opportunities for shortening the time to fill.

The Speed to Therapy conference on August 13-14, 2013 in Philadelphia brings together a variety of stakeholders for an examination of the time to fill and the patient journey.

You’ll hear multi-stakeholder perspective insights on:

• Streamlining the Prior Authorization and Insurance Coverage Determination Process
• Removing Financial Barriers to Medication Access
• Following the Patient Journey – Patient Insight on the Road from Diagnosis to Therapy
• Product Characterizations and Impact on Speed to Therapy
• Quick Start Programs
• Hospital Discharge Planning and Education – Eliminating Delays Immediately Post Discharge
• The Impact of Various Hub Models on Speed to Therapy
• Laying the Groundwork Pre-Launch to Minimize Delays
• Industry Benchmarking – How Many Days to Therapy and What are Industry Best Practices?
