SESSION DESCRIPTION
This session will begin with a review of the call for the NQF Opioid TEP through the SUPPORT Act of 2018, and provide an overview of the work of the TEP. Emphasis will be placed on the identification of healthcare setting specific problems related to pain management and opioid use disorder, quality measure gaps identified by the TEP to address those problems, and potential measure ideas for measure developers to explore to provide the solutions recommended by the TEP. The TEP made a series of recommendations for measures for the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program, the Hospital Value-based Payment Program, MIPS, APMs and the Medicare Shared Savings Program. Each recommendation will be discussed, focused on measurement gaps and opportunities to develop new measures.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Recognize and review the findings of the NQF Opioid Task Force's environmental scan of measures for opioids and opioid use disorder.
2. Describe the current use of opioid measures in the federal quality and performance programs.
3. Identify gaps in measurement for opioids and discuss potential opportunities for PQA to fill those gaps.

SESSION DESCRIPTION
Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become more prevalent in healthcare in the last few years, there are few direct applications to supporting positive patient behavior change. At AllazoHealth, we are leveraging AI to improve patient engagement programs by predicting adherence risk and responsiveness to interventions. We can then match the right set of interventions to the patient to efficiently help the patient achieve or remain adherent to their medications. In this session, you'll hear how a program that used our AI engine to predict which patients should get select interventions improved the performance of those interventions by 2.3 times and how you can achieve similar results.

SESSION DESCRIPTION
Real-time prescription benefit advancements in the EMR can enhance the patient-centric care paradigm by providing at the point of ordering the patient-specific medication costs and potentially suggest lower cost alternatives. Pulling this information up front at the point of prescribing allows providers to choose medications more wisely, involves the patient in the medication selection process and minimizes script re-work after the patient visit. A win-win-win for patients, providers, and pharmacists.
This session will discuss the importance of understanding medication costs and its relationship to medication adherence and will share an early analysis of the impact of the real time prescription benefit tool when implemented at our institution. Outcomes evaluated include switch rates to lower cost medications, the reduction in the number of prior authorizations required, the accuracy of the pricing estimate, and prescription procurement rate at the pharmacy.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Describe the relationship of medication cost to medication adherence and abandonment rates at the pharmacy.
2. Explain the potential benefits of price transparency tools at the point of prescribing for patients.
3. Assess the impact of a real-time prescription benefit tool on workflows at the community pharmacy.
