NCPDP announced today the call for proposals for its 2022 Annual Technology & Business Conference, “Be BOLD. Break Barriers.,” which will be held May 2-4, 2022, at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona. NCPDP’s national conference draws more than 700 attendees from across the healthcare industry, including technical, business and executive representatives from health plans, pharmacy benefit managers, retail and independent pharmacies, specialty pharmacies, long-term care providers, healthcare consultants, technology vendors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesale drug distributors, database management organizations and others.

“Our 2022 Annual Conference theme, Be BOLD. Break Barriers. are two strong calls to action for the healthcare industry, and specifically, NCPDP members,” explained Lee Ann Stember, NCPDP’s President & CEO. “The first call to action is to Be BOLD. We must be purposeful, proactive, committed, and creative with our actions and behaviors, problem solving and consensus building in NCPDP forums. Break Barriers. is a powerful and direct call to support achievement of the goals in NCPDP’s Three Year Strategic Plan. This includes breaking down barriers to interoperability, barriers that impede access to medication therapies, and barriers to successful implementation of innovative value-based care models. In addition, we are reexamining our processes with the goal of developing standards and solutions for the common good even faster! Now is the time to lean in, be bold and break down barriers to improve healthcare and the patient experience.”

  • Standard Track Sessions are 60-minute sessions, providing for a 45-minute presentation and 15 minutes of question and answer. These sessions are limited to a maximum of two (2) speakers.
