Description:
Formidable barriers to biosimilar adoption have been identified and discussed extensively in the literature. However, studies are lacking to identify actionable strategies for overcoming these barriers, specifically to achieve goals set by the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA). This accredited CE webcast features unique insights from a recent survey study conducted by the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) and PRIME Education, which assessed the perceptions of such strategies among managed care and specialty pharmacy professionals. Led by faculty with deep expertise in biosimilar therapies and managed care pharmacy who were involved in the study, the webcast features constructive dialogues on collaborative strategies for advancing the evidence-based adoption of biosimilar therapies.
