Join this webinar to learn about the evolving specialty drug market. This session will include an in-depth look at the upcoming specialty drug pipeline and a breakdown of how health systems, pharmacy benefit managers, and health plans are responding to the shifting landscape of specialty medications.

Join Advisory Board experts as they unpack three foundational assumptions about the healthcare industry that are currently unraveling — and the emerging dynamics that will replace them.

There’s a $100 billion national cost savings opportunity in reducing unwarranted care variation, but executives haven’t yet committed to care variation reduction (CVR) at the system level. In this session, we’ll delve into the five reasons for executives’ hesitation to committing to system-level CVR.

To make progress on complex challenges in healthcare, leaders must take a systems perspective. This session will explore the ways that healthcare leaders can look beyond static snapshots of their organizations and see our challenges as they really are — patterns of dynamic relationships. We’ll include specific ideas for extending perspective to purpose, context, self, and others.

Aligning strategy, technology, and analytics is crucial for success in value-based care (VBC). Join Clare Wirth from Advisory Board and a panel of seasoned Optum experts as we examine recent trends in VBC and discuss the key ingredients for success.

Providers are adapting to industry dynamics including a volatile health policy environment, new competitors, clinical innovations, and changing clinician roles. To understand what these changes mean for purchasing decisions, we surveyed leaders of health system value analysis committees (VACs) and pharmacy and therapeutics (P&T) committees on how they define and determine product value.

Structural changes to operating environments are pushing leaders to reimagine their care and operating models, as what worked in the past may no longer be sustainable. In this presentation, we unpack current and future pressures on the hospital business and share case studies on how hospitals and health systems around the world are augmenting inpatient capacity, reducing length of stay, and facilitating on-time discharge.

In this session, we’ll cover the factors that influence successful adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and what healthcare leaders can do to drive AI use at their organizations. Attendees will learn how to prepare their organizations and staff for adoption, ensure strategic alignment of AI investments, and shift the mindset around the ongoing support and monitoring that is required with AI use.

This webinar will focus on how to shift individual and collective understanding of purpose so that leaders can stop playing “not to lose” by protecting themselves and start playing “to win” by mobilizing others toward what really matters.

Many healthcare organizations take a “wait and see” approach to change, but often that only delays the inevitable and makes change harder than it has to be. This webinar will explore what a more adaptive approach looks like for health leaders — an approach that has a higher tolerance for ongoing readjustment but also avoids the need for sudden, major changes.
