Dave Wendland, the vice president of strategic relations and member of the owners group at Hamacher Resource Group, or HRG, will moderate the Chronic Care Patient Management session at the Drug Store News Industry Issues Summit on Nov. 28 at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City.
Wendland will lead a discussion with seven panelists consisting of retailers, a consumer products manufacturer and an insurer, including Thrifty White, Health Mart, H-E-B Pharmacy, Rite Aid, Costco, Becton Dickinson and United Healthcare.
“Pharmacists are the most trusted and underutilized medical professionals in the healthcare ecosystem, but they need to move past the paradigm of assisting patients post-diagnosis to helping educate and encourage patients to practice preventative measures,” Wendland said. “I am interested to hear these retail leaders share their visions for how they’ll be setting up frameworks and guidelines to encourage that shift.”
Topics for the discussion will range from the pharmacist’s role in chronic care management to prevention, outcome measurement and future states.
