Health care executive Shelli Pavone discusses her article "Why retail pharmacies are the future of diverse clinical trials," highlighting the urgent need to improve representation in clinical research.

She describes how leveraging retail pharmacies—trusted, accessible community hubs—can decentralize trials, expand recruitment, and boost retention. Listeners will gain practical insights on how pharmacies' existing infrastructure can be adapted for clinical research, why inclusivity matters for health outcomes, and how patient-centered innovation can reshape the future of medicine.

One important but understated aspect of 340B compliance is the importance of training new and existing team members on how the program works. But what does effective training look like? Pooja Shah, the system pharmacy manager of 340B programs at University of North Carolina Health, walks us through the key elements of an effective and engaging 340B education strategy.Setting a Baseline of 340B KnowledgeUNC Health utilizes a two-pronged strategy to 340B education for its team: didactic and interactive approaches. The didactic approach involves creating three online, standardized learning modules to educate those who are new to 340B or who interact with it indirectly as well as those who are more involved in day-to-day 340B operations. The interactive approach involves an educational and decision-making structure designed to adapt to new 340B developments in real time. Compliance Meetings Facilitate DiscussionUNC Health uses entity-level and system-level oversight committees to discuss key 340B compliance issues and relevant metrics. Shah says these meetings offer ways to inform senior leadership about key 340B changes and keep other stakeholders, such as hospital compliance and legal credentialing professionals, in the loop.340B Education Is Best When NimbleAs hospitals evaluate their 340B education efforts, Shah says it's important they explore existing resources but also work with stakeholders to discuss what would best serve them when learning about 340B. Hospitals also can change existing governance structures to incorporate 340B discussions. Shah says the ability to stay nimble and be able to quickly identify and assemble key players in the 340B space is key to keeping teams informed amid times of change.ResourcesRead Our Appeals Court Brief Opposing 340B Rebate Schemes
