With hospital-based pharmacy accounting for large percentages of system budgets, cost management and revenue capture are more than just buzzwords; they are the reality in driving decisions. Because so many of the variables that impact cost and revenue are outside the control of pharmacy leadership, it is imperative to maximize those opportunities that are available. Learn about the latest industry updates and trends that impact the pharmaceutical supply chain, patient outcomes and revenue opportunities. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from industry leaders about proven models and strategies to solve future pharmacy issues.

2:45 pm - 4:00 pm Pharmacy Track: The Role of the Health System Pharmacist in Accountable Care Organizations
Moderator: Lou Diorio, RPh, Principal, LDT Health Solutions, Inc.
In 2012, payment reforms included in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010—the nation's health reform law—will provide new incentives for healthcare providers to work together as accountable-care organizations. These networks of medical providers—likely to include hospitals, primary-care physicians and specialists—will share responsibility for coordinating care and improving quality and cost-efficiency. The groups would share in the savings they create for the Medicare program, if they meet quality and cost benchmarks.
This session will explore the role that the health system pharmacy will play in this unique structure. Panelists will describe the components necessary to form an ACO, the challenges faced by health system pharmacists in this type of organization and potential opportunities they provide to improve care.
Learning Objectives:
1. Explain what constitutes an accountable-care organization under the reform law.
2. Evaluate the role of the health system pharmacy directory in an ACO.
3. Outline the challenges and opportunities for the director of pharmacy in an ACO.

Butch Lumpkin is one of the approximately 5,000 survivor's world-wide. Born with what he calls "short arms," he really has what amounts to no functional arms at all.

If you ask Butch he'll tell you he is blessed and after this inspiring opening session you'll understand why.

Perhaps no one in America can offer such a unique, real-world perspective on leadership, knowledgeable commentary on the recent BP oil spill, future energy solutions and thoughts on improving healthcare delivery than John Hofmeister. During his career he has held executive leadership positions in General Electric, Nortel, AlliedSignal and finally at Shell Oil as President. These corporate positions as well as his service on leading organization's boards have given him insights on crucial issues impacting healthcare delivery.
As the leader of large, multinational human resources departments John is well versed in the demands being placed on the US healthcare delivery networks and is keenly aware of the challenges we all face in improving healthcare delivery. John will discuss how corporate behaviors of all kinds are being scrutinized much more closely today than they were in the past and how everyone in an organization becomes the public face an organization presents. After recent high-profile incidents, we all understand why corporate behavior has never been more crucial to organizations long-term fortunes. He will also elaborate on what he felt was the most important lesson he learned as Shell Oil president — leaders need to take their own messages seriously, so that others will as well.
John will provide his insights on these issues and more as he addresses critical issues we all must deal with if we are to meet the challenges that lie ahead. Come prepared with your questions as John will entertain them at the conclusion of his talk.
