Post-conference workshop: Friday 10 December 2010

Risk sharing and alternative payment schemes

Outline: Healthcare providers are facing the financial challenge of funding new, innovative and expensive
medicines for populations who are living longer and demanding better care. This funding dynamic has increased immediate financial pressures on healthcare systems and raised the level of risk associated with uncertainty around both clinical efficacy and budgetary impact.
To address this, payers are considering market access hurdles and cost containment measures. In response, the industry should be carefully considering their pricing and reimbursement strategies. How the industry responds to this trend will significantly shape the future.

Objectives: Attendees will increase their awareness of current risk sharing agreements and variations of how those agreements are taking shape across markets.

Attendees will also gain a better understanding of when risk-sharing agreements are appropriate and what steps can be taken to avoid the necessity of alterative payment schemes.

09.30 What’s at risk?
