Purchasing Office Hours

Purchasing Office Hours is a 340B University online event in which participants watch an educational video then attend a live meeting for open discussion. The live session allows attendees to ask questions and discuss operational challenges with peers and subject matter experts. Capacity is limited to provide maximum peer-to-peer interaction.

Individuals who have a role in purchasing 340B drugs must be knowledgeable about program compliance elements for 340B-related decision making in their day-to-day workflows. The purpose of Purchasing Office Hours is to provide an overview of key elements regarding both compliance and stewardship in 340B drugs, assign actionable follow-up items to apply at your organization, and facilitate an open Q&A session for you to engage with peers and experienced faculty on operational topics.

Join us to learn more about secondary purchases and why they may require different 340B compliance considerations than purchases from your primary source.

Workshop Objectives:

1. Define secondary purchases and give examples
2. Outline 340B compliance expectations when making secondary purchases
3. Discuss contract identification available for secondary accounts
4. Describe potential compliance pitfalls and best practices to prevent them
