Description:
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic, life-long, debilitating
disease with many forms that can range in clinical severity from
asymptomatic to life-threatening. In the US, SCD affects an
estimated 90,000 to 100,000 Americans. This disease can lead to the
obstruction of blood vessels, reduced blood flow to vital organs,
and a weakened immune system. Fortunately for patients, novel
therapies have been approved that have shown tremendous benefit in
SCD.
Upon completion of this
activity, participants will be able to:
-
Analyze the economic burden of
sickle cell disease (SCD) and the impact of suboptimal
management on outcomes
-
Review the latest clinical data on
newer therapies in SCD
-
Assess approaches currently utilized
by third party payers to manage costs associated with the care
of patients with SCD
-
Discuss the managed care
considerations of novel therapies by exploring where these
agents may fit into current SCD management paradigm
-
Identify co-productive
payer-provider strategies to ensure appropriate and timely
access to new therapies for vaso-occlusive pain events in SCD
-
Transform therapeutic advances and
resource utilization data in SCD into informed health plan
decisions and formulary discussions
