Inventory Management: Strategies for Compliance and Efficiency
February 2, 2022 | 11:00 am–12:15 pm
Track 1: 340B Operations & Compliance
340B providers maintain complex inventory management systems to ensure compliance with 340B Program rules, including patient definition, the duplicate discount prohibition, and the GPO Prohibition for certain hospitals. In addition, covered entities must obtain access to drugs, monitor pricing across multiple accounts and settings, and maintain budgetary balance within their departments. This panel will address compliance for purchasing drugs, achieving access and the 340B price for covered outpatient drugs, and considerations for managing drug shortages.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe best practices for managing inventory and adjustments to ensure prevention of diversion
- Identify inventory purchasing management processes that are compliant with 340B rules
- Identify strategies for managing 340B drug shortages
- Describe how to address instances when 340B pricing is inaccurate or missing
