AMCP Health Disparities Advisory Group

Introduction:

There is an increased focus on health disparities that occur across a multitude of factors, including socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and race, sexual orientation and gender, disabilities, geography, and social needs. As part of AMCP's strategic priority on addressing health disparities and commitment to transition from awareness to action, AMCP is committed to leveraging managed care pharmacy to address disparities in benefit design, medication use, and outcomes in underserved populations. This advisory group will build upon the recommendations put forth during AMCP's 2021 Partnership Forum. It will provide guidance as AMCP works to create awareness on the role of managed care professionals in this area, identify partners, and develop tools and resources to aid managed care pharmacy transition from awareness to action.
