The enterprise spans the continuum of care from acute care clinical & operations, ambulatory care, outpatient/specialty pharmacy and business development areas. Prioritizing and expanding pharmacy services can improve quality and patient experience while reducing costs and increasing revenue. It is important for health system leaders to recognize the potential and act strategically to realize pharmacy’s full value.
This session will:
- describe forecast trends, market forces, and disruption that impact pharmacy
- explain the scope and benefits of the pharmacy enterprise
- identify opportunities for pharmacy enterprise components within your organization

 Beyond the Joint Commission Standards:
Opioid Stewardship at a Health System
Doug Oyler, PharmD, BCCCP
UK HealthCare
Drug overdose continues to be a major public health crisis in the U.S. and Kentucky. Opioids continue to be overused for pain management, and increasing evidence has shed additional light on safety and efficacy. Additionally, professional organization-endorsed guidelines for OSPs do not exist, so health systems are often left curious about how to meet and exceed the Joint Commission standards regarding pain management. As the leader of the most advanced opioid stewardship program in the state, Oyler has spoken with a number of health system leaders about this issue and how to improve opioid use.
In this session, attendees will learn to:
- discuss the role of opioid overprescribing in creating and sustaining the opioid crisis
- list members of an opioid stewardship team
- describe initiatives an opioid stewardship team can undertake to improve opioid use
