| Source: Pharmacy Benefit Management Institute
SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwire - June 5, 2009) - A well-crafted case study is a powerful
educational and marketing tool. The Pharmacy
Benefit Management Institute's (PBMI) 15th Anniversary Drug Benefit Conference
offers industry experts an opportunity to
present case studies that showcase solutions to critical drug
benefit challenges.
Speaker proposals will be accepted until August 14, 2009 for the conference
to be held February 17-19, 2010 in Phoenix.
"PBMI has a long-standing reputation for educating the industry on the best
approaches for managing the drug benefit," says Dana H. Felthouse, MBA,
president of PBMI. "We want conference
proposals that educate employers, health plans, union groups, and
third-party administrators. These stakeholders say they benefit most from
case studies that show how other purchasers are overcoming challenges
similar to their own."
Proposals for presentations that provide insight on drug benefit trends
also are welcome. Speakers are needed for general sessions and breakout
sessions in three tracks: HR Perspectives, Managed Care Pharmacy
Perspectives, and Industry Trends.
Conference attendees typically include human resource generalists as well
as benefits specialists and managed care pharmacy professionals. Some
attendees want to know more about the fundamentals of pharmacy benefit
management while others want more technical information. PBMI will offer
sessions that meet both needs. The conference
will offer 12 continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits as well as
continuing education credit for human resource professionals.
Prospective speakers should submit proposals at
http://pbmi.com/SpeakerPresentation.asp. All speakers will receive free
registration to the 2-day conference.
The Pharmacy Benefit Management Institute provides research, continuing
education and Web resources that help health care benefit executives work
effectively with pharmacy benefit managers to improve the design and
management of drug benefit programs. Learn more at www.pbmi.com. To view
