Value of Cancer Care Forum: Pharmacy Call to Action
This white paper summarizes the HOPA/AMCP forum and serves as a call to action to health system pharmacists to engage in the continuum of cancer care as essential providers of value through the implementation of quality processes that inform safe and effective treatment choices, enhance patient satisfaction with care, and reduce unnecessary healthcare costs. Panel discussions provided examples of successful collaborations between health systems and payers, enabling data exchange and risk stratification of patients and subsequent reorganization of pharmacy resources from volume to value-based activities.
News Piece: Ibrutinib

Needs Assessment: Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects more than 4% of adults and 10% of children, making it the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease. A recent longitudinal study found that childhood AD symptoms persisted well into adolescence and longer, suggesting that AD may persist more commonly than previously recognized. Furthermore, AD poses a significant economic concern and a substantial burden on physical and emotional health and social wellbeing.
