\n\u201cEngaging in conversations with industry leaders and organizations is key to understanding the biggest challenges facing healthcare today and how we can best support clinicians in addressing those challenges,\u201d said Mark Gingrich<\/a>, Chief Information Officer for Surescripts and NCPDP Board of Trustees<\/a> Secretary\/Treasurer. \u201cIt\u2019s our job to equip clinicians, including our pharmacists, with the technology and information they need to ensure patients continue to have access to essential services such as immunizations, medication counseling and important health screenings and strengthening each clinician\u2019s role within the patient care team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe first of two sessions, will focus on how advancing interoperability, new policies and payment models can help address some of healthcare\u2019s top challenges like the predicted shortage of up to 124,000 physicians<\/a> in the U.S. by 2034, proposing opportunities that may be available as 9 in 10 Americans<\/a> live within five miles of a pharmacy.<\/p>\n
