Recorded on 09/10/24Whereas software had traditionally been used by patients to track and manage their disease, clinical evidence has demonstrated software can also be used to as a therapeutic to impact clinical outcomes. Prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) are uniquely positioned to address some of the key shortcomings of traditional pharmaceutical-based treatments, including stigma, poor access to care, provider shortages, and the complexities of the healthcare system. Importantly, PDTs can also be utilized as a treatment in conjunction with traditional pharmaceuticals, without risking additional drug-related side effects or drug-drug interactions. Click Therapeutics has been a standout in applying the same rigorous standards typically applied to pharmaceutical interventions to Click's trials for PDTs, which will be key to driving adoption over time. Recent FDA guidance on Prescription Drug Use-Related Software (PDURS) opens the door to a new treatment category combining digital and pharmacological interventions, and Click is focused on partnering with traditional pharma companies to unlock the value in combination treatments. To discuss this topic, I’m joined by Randall Stanicky, Click Therapeutics' CFO. https://go.td.com/PodcastDisclosure Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Recorded on 09/10/24Evernorth has played a leading role in the development of value-based contracting programs to assist plan sponsors in managing rising pharmaceutical costs. As plan sponsors are faced with the cost impacts of the rising mix of specialty drugs, they are increasingly turning to solutions such as Evernorth's SafeGuardRx, which combines financial arrangements for plans with clinical value-based features for members. Since the launch of SafeGuardRx in 2015, nearly all of Evernorth's plan sponsors have adopted at least one SafeGuardRx program.

When we think of the biopharmaceutical industry, we naturally think of innovation in terms of discovery of novel medicines treating any number of diseases and conditions. The innovation occurring in the pharma industry isn't limited to drug discovery, and has also extended into the application of technology in pursuit of developing new therapies. In this episode, we dive into how the pharma industry thinks through the development and deployment of novel technology. Technologies such as clinical operations software, AI, and machine learning have increased the efficiency of every stage of the drug development process. This embrace has helped drive the discovery of new therapeutic classes and the development of drugs for targets and diseases that were previously thought untreatable. To discuss this topic, we're joined by Shobie Ramakrishnan, GSK's Chief Digital and Technology Officer. Since joining GSK in 2018, she has transformed the company’s capabilities in digital, data, and analytics, and has played a pivotal role in establishing a more agile commercial operating model.

In this episode, we look at the PBM industry, which has been in the spotlight in recent months, and not necessarily in a good way. PBMs have been painted as the unnecessary "middle man" that is driving up the cost of drugs. But is this really the case? The PBM industry traces its roots back over 50 years, with an initial narrow focus on efficient benefits administration, creating systems that told pharmacies in real-time what each patient's specific insurance plan meant that customer was supposed to pay for a specific prescription. Over time, PBMs leveraged their intermediary role in the pharmaceutical supply chain to take on additional responsibilities, including pharmaceutical cost & clinical control, pharmaceutical dispensing, and disease management. Among the various stakeholders in the pharma supply chain, PBMs have the least interface with consumers and the general public, which often leads to confusion about the role PBMs play. In this discussion we hope to provide clarity on the various roles of PBMs and how PBMs interact with other stakeholders in the US healthcare system.To discuss this topic, we are joined by Ronald Fox, who is currently a health care consultant, specializing in the PBM and health plan sectors. Previously, Ron spent over 21 years in the PBM industry, most recently serving as President of the Health Plan Division at Express Scripts, now part of Cigna's Evernorth division. https://go.td.com/PodcastDisclosure Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode Recorded On 06/26/24In this episode we take a deep dive into cybersecurity in the healthcare system. According to HHS, over the last ten years, the number of reported healthcare data breaches have consistently trended upward. The 734 reported breaches in 2023 is nearly double what was seen in 2018, and collectively these breaches are impacting a higher proportion of the US population each year. Ransomware attacks on U.S. healthcare organizations have cost the economy around $77.5 billion in downtime since 2016, according to an analysis by technology review and cybersecurity research firm Comparitech. Two recent cyberattacks, Change Healthcare and Ascension, are just the latest high-profile large-scale attacks that have impacted financial results for a number of companies, but also has had an impact on patient care. These events have left many wondering whether the healthcare space remains vulnerable and what steps companies and regulators can take to limit further risk. To discuss this topic, we're joined by Richard Staynings. Mr. Stayinings is a thought leader, author, and public speaker about cybersecurity in healthcare, with over 25 years of experience. He is currently Chief Security Strategist for cybersecurity company Cylera, and teaches postgraduate courses in cybersecurity and health informatics at the University of Denver.
