Order of Operations: Managing Biosimilars While Maintaining Operational Efficiency
In this podcast episode, Kathy Oubre, MS, CEO of Pontchartrain Cancer Center, discussed the stresses that practices and clinics face when trying to manage biosimilars as well as some policy considerations that administrators should keep in mind as more biosimilars enter the market and are added to formularies.
On this week’s episode, we’re discussing the stresses that practices and clinics face when trying to manage biosimilars as well as some policy considerations that administrators should keep in mind as more biosimilars enter the market and more payers add them to formularies.
I am joined by Kathy Oubre, MS, CEO of Pontchartrain Cancer Center, and a member of The Center for Biosimilars® Advisory Board. She is an expert on the administration and practice perspective of managing biosimilars and has extensive experience supervising a practice that has had to adapt to the growing body of oncology biosimilars that have launched on the US market.
