North Carolina is in the midst of a major shift from fee-for-service to Medicaid managed care and other value-based care transformation efforts. As part of these reforms, North Carolina is required to integrate care for dual-eligible beneficiaries within five years of Medicaid managed care launch. The Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy, with support from Arnold Ventures, has developed potential options for Medicare-Medicaid integration in the state.

On October 11, 2022, the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy and FDA will be hosting a virtual public workshop to solicit feedback from key stakeholders on the REMS integration prototype. Speakers from FDA and MITRE will provide an overview of the prototype’s aims, core functions, and role in FDA’s ongoing efforts to modernize REMS. Patients, prescribers, pharmacists, health system representatives, informaticists, and other key stakeholders will participate in a series of moderated panel discussions that focus on how the prototype can address challenges associated with integrating REMS requirements into clinical workflows to facilitate safe medication use.
