The Institute is led by an Executive Leadership Council of medical directors from purchasers, health plans and provider systems.
The NAMCP Medical Directors Oncology Council is becoming very active in the world of oncology. We have had conversations with COA, NCCN and ASCO on working with medical directors to improve communications and issues between oncologists, hospitals and medical directors.
Genomics, Biotech and Emerging Medical Technologies Council
The goal of the Genomics, Biotech and Emerging Medical Technologies Council is to advocate the value of genomics, biotechnology and emerging medical technologies as these new modalities enter and impact the healthcare system, thereby improving patient outcomes, improving quality, and bringing value to the marketplace. Members of the Council include medical directors from purchasers, plans and provider systems.
Value Based Care Council
NAMCP understands the changing landscape with regard to the delivery of healthcare is moving from traditional fee for service to more of a focus on value based care and all of the complexities therein. In that pharmaceuticals are the mainstay of the treatment plan or therapy for most medical conditions, the association made the decision to move forward with an initiative to work with Medical Directors and other stakeholders to improve medical outcomes through the more effective utilization of pharmaceuticals.
