The Inaugural USP Pharmacoinformatics Workshop

Register Agenda eProgram Book

Workshop Overview:

The inaugural USP Pharmacoinformatics Workshop aims to bring together key thought leaders and innovators from across the healthcare industry to address challenges related to data standards and interoperability along the entirety of the drug data chain - from the time a drug is manufactured until a patient takes it.

The increased reliance on computers to store, process and exchange data related to drugs has provided efficiencies and innovations that range from research and development, manufacturing, e-prescribing, clinical decision support, adverse events and claims processing. However, these advances are often realized in silos, resulting in an under-connected, non-standardized and unmapped drug information infrastructure that cannot sufficiently address fundamental questions related to drug quality, prescribing practices, medication utilization and adherence, outcomes and associated costs. Optimizing the connectivity and interoperability to connect fractured elements across the ‘drug data chain’ provides an opportunity to meaningfully enhance the quality of medicines, operational efficiencies and most importantly patient care and outcomes.

Topics:

• Current and future states for use of digital capabilities in the areas such as substance verification, impurities and nomenclature.
• Regulatory landscape for drug data standards today and tomorrow
• Clinical practice and future opportunities interoperable data related to:
  • Use of drug information in patient records
  • Pharmacogenomics and its application in clinical practice
  • Medication adherence, medication therapy management, and treatment goals
  • Patient Generated Data
• State of predictive analytics for treatment protocols and other applications
• Value and impact of digital therapeutics

Who should attend this conference?

• Healthcare providers who are passionate about data utilization to enhance patient outcomes and access to quality care
• Drug manufacturers who are interested in leveraging digital solutions to increase operational efficiencies and help ensure the quality of medicines.
• Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) developers, manufacturers and users interested in enhancing laboratory connectivity and integration across the supply chain
• Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) who manage drug formulary data
• Regulatory, healthcare economics and reimbursement representatives who are interested in the value of applied informatics to enhance operational efficiencies, patient outcomes and access to healthcare
• Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) vendors committed to connecting patients, data to clinical practice operations and high quality patient outcomes
• Drug knowledge vendors focused on the quality, uniformity and meaning of data and data systems across healthcare settings
• Health IT professionals or data scientists who routinely perform analysis on data related to medications

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to

• Describe the current landscape and tooling used for data exchange at different points in the drug supply chain
• Understand the importance of drug data standards and interoperability
• Identify opportunities for data improvement and interoperability to enhance public health
