HealthTrust University Conference presents…”Systematic Approach to Academic Detailing & Formulary Decision Making for High-Cost, High-Risk Medications”

As health systems continue to develop system-based approaches to formulary decision-making, addressing specific stakeholder concerns in a transparent and efficient manner presents unique challenges. The Scripps Health System P&T Committee (PTC) has developed a robust process for engaging physician stakeholder groups for routine decisions, but ongoing challenges can arise when denying formulary status for high-risk or controversial drugs. In this session, presenters will explore two unique instances where the P&T committee evaluated high-risk, high-cost drugs. In each of these, a different, but successful strategy to engage stakeholder feedback was employed—ultimately resulting in positive outcomes in formulary management. In both cases, novel approaches to conducting peer-to-peer academic detailing were employed to address concerns from physician stakeholders.

Learning Objectives | At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

1. Define a system formulary management process
2. Identify key representatives to support a system-based approach to formulary management
3. Develop a process to empower P&T representatives to engage in academic detailing and peer-to-peer engagement to address controversial formulary decisions
