The event is being conducted as part of the FDA's commitment under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) to make strides toward improving its Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) program.  The workshop will be the first step in the FDA's development of a series of "Use Cases" that will model how stakeholders and systems interact to perform important REMS activities.  

Under a cooperative agreement with FDA, the Duke Margolis Center for Health Policy is hosting the day-long conference to:

1) Present the FDA's vision for a common REMS platform and obtain feedback on those aspects of the platform that are ready for further development

2) Identify existing data standards and partnerships that may be leveraged in order to facilitate the development and broader uptake of REMS common data standards

3) Explore innovative new tools and systems that may be developed under the common REMS platform

As a founder and the clinical architect of the leading therapy management software for specialty drug therapies, Allinson was invited to share his insights and provide comment as to how REMS requirements can and should be seamlessly integrated within automated care plans.

"As a part of our development process with TherigySTM, we researched all of the specialty drugs in the market that have REMS requirements and configured those requirements into our software." said Allinson.  "We've carefully thought through what our pharmacy customers need for REMS compliance and reporting.  We've been implementing those solutions in the marketplace through TherigySTM.  I'm honored that our work in this area has been recognized, and I'm looking forward to sharing what we've learned during this important forum."
