From Challenges to Opportunities: July 2023 Summer Coalition Conference, “Empowering 340B Programs with Maxor’s Solutions”

Who Gathered at the 340B Coalition’s Summer Conference—and Why?

The July 2023 Summer Coalition Conference provided a comprehensive overview of the 340B program’s challenges and opportunities. From addressing manufacturer restrictions to optimizing TPA management, the event brought together industry leaders, stakeholders, and experts to discuss crucial 340B topics.

The Summer Coalition Conference highlighted the evolving landscape of 340B manufacturer restrictions.

Speakers emphasized the importance of staying updated on manufacturer policies to ensure compliance and understand their impact on 340B programs. Maxor’s experts illustrated how to navigate these restrictions while maximizing the benefits for participating healthcare organizations.

Finding the Link Between Technology, Expertise, and Patient Care

One panel discussion on “Improving Access, Communication, and Monitoring in Care through Technology” described terms, applications, and policies to enhance patient care.

• Led by Maxor’s Holly Russo, Senior Director, 340B, the discussion covered the crucial role of technology in advancing patient care within the 340B space. The session explored ways to enhance access to medications, improve communication between stakeholders, and implement robust monitoring systems.
