Empowering Change: AMCP Foundation Partners with Moda Health and Novo Nordisk Inc., Launching a Health Disparities Research Internship

Alexandria, Va., April 4, 2024 — The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) and Digital Health Outcomes (DHO) are pleased to announce a strategic partnership on AMCP eModel, a health economic model communications and data analytics​ platform used to support health care decision makers and life science manufacturer organizations. ​​This tool will provide a turnkey process for manufacturers to digitize their economic models into user-friendly interactive tools and improve their transparency, accessibility, and utility to health care decision makers in payer organizations.      

“AMCP has been at the forefront of exchange of information between manufacturers and health care decision makers that ultimately helps patients access the therapies they need in a timely and efficient manner. The role of health economic models are important in this process, and their role continues to evolve as the focus on paying for value in our health-system escalates,” said AMCP CEO Susan Cantrell, MHL, RPh, CAE. “This new partnership aligns with our vision and complements existing initiatives such as AMCP Format for Formulary Submissions and Pre-approval Information Exchange (PIE) webinars and other tools. We look forward to working with DHO to drive innovations in health economic models, real-world evidence data collection, and value-informed decision-making."   

“Partnering with AMCP is important as they have been a leader in establishing industry standards in formulary review and evidence with the AMCP Format. We are aligned with their vision of more interactive, transparent, validated, and accessible tools for their member commu​nity.​​​ ​​​W​e will work together to further refine​ and​ innovate​ the platform ​to​​ ​create industry standards ​that​​ ​meet key unmet needs, expand access to new channels, and address gaps that exist,” said Oleksandr Topachevskyi, managing director​ and founder​ at Digital Health Outcomes​ LLC​.   

AMCP eModels will better assist health care decision makers with learning more about the economic value of new products as they undertake budget impact and cost-effectiveness analyses and formulary planning. They can change model input parameters or assumptions to better reflect their member population and estimate projected cost and outcomes, comparing it with what they see in real world evidence based on their patient data. For manufacturers, this platform provides ways to improve economic value, communication for their field teams, and new channels to directly engage with payers. The tool will also include payer-driven standard model templates and collaboration features.   

Attendees at AMCP 2024 can visit the AMCP DHO kiosk in the main lobby of the convention center in New Orleans, April 15-18, to learn more. For additional information, please email us at amcp@digitalho.com.
