Description
The narrative around pharmacy's financial role is changing — and pharmacy leaders are driving that shift. This session explores how health systems are repositioning their pharmacy programs as revenue generators through specialty growth, clinical program expansion and strategic contracting. Panelists share the financial models, operational changes and executive conversations that have successfully reframed pharmacy from expense line to enterprise asset.
