Former Surgeon General @JeromeAdamsMD says savings from #340B program can help address #SDOH by creating programs that promote the development of “high opportunity neighborhoods” #340bconf

[Ken Congdon @Ken_Congdon]

Former Surgeon General @JeromeAdamsMD talks about his own experiences with the #340B program at a DSH. Calls it an important component for #healthequity. #340BConf

[Ken Congdon @Ken_Congdon]

Many #340B hospitals do not have their own retail pharmacies and most don’t have specialty pharmacies #340BConf

[Ken Congdon @Ken_Congdon]

Overall, more than a quarter of #340B savings comes from contract pharmacy. For Critical Access Hospitals, it’s more than half. #340BConf

[Ken Congdon @Ken_Congdon]

That’s one fine looking latte! 😆☕️ #340BConf

[Ken Congdon @Ken_Congdon]

Document any unavailable #340B prices during a shortage, illustrate the circumstances regarding the shortage, and specify product unavailability information #340BConf

[Ken Congdon @Ken_Congdon]

Ways to stay “in the know” about #340B changes/challenges from Ascension Wisconsin:
1. Create a 340B steering committee, 2. Create an internal 340B overview/ training module, 3. Stay in contact with AO and C-suite, 4. Disseminate SOPs important to pharmacy stakeholders #340bConf

[Ken Congdon @Ken_Congdon]

Potential impact of proposed drug pricing reform legislation on #340B according to @RPMReportMike: Ceiling prices will likely go up and value of 340B discount will go down. #340BConf

[Ken Congdon @Ken_Congdon]

More than 400 specialty drugs are on the market today, accounting for half of drug spending - very different from when #340B was enacted. #340BConf
