Collaboration between pharmacists and health plans has the power to transform how care is provided to patients.

But real barriers and fragmentation exist in the process including technology gaps, data exchange and the ability to scale efforts to integrate pharmacists into care teams and to support care coordination.

That is where NCPDP’s 2025 Virtual Educational Summit comes in. This half-day online learning summit is designed to showcase opportunities and solutions to promote broader pharmacy data interoperability and collaboration that elevates the effectiveness and efficiency of the healthcare system and improve overall quality of care for patients.

Hear directly from top industry voices on current initiatives to include pharmacists as part of the care team to improve quality measures and hear from Quality Associations themselves on how they are thinking about pharmacy-related quality measures.

Learn more about opportunities with existing clinical documentation systems, and how increased data sharing and data availability can help eliminate some of the barriers that exist today.

Plus, hear from industry experts who are currently doing the work to make this a reality, and they will share examples of pharmacists working with providers and health plans to improve quality measures. Finally, hear more about NCPDP’s strategic focus on health plans, value-based care and more.
