Dear Colleague, Bringing together professionals involved in REMS programs to propagate the core principles of risk management and to help ensure patient safety has been the founding mission of ExL Events Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies Summit for a decade. The immediate success of risk management and mitigation strategies rests on the ability to address and communicate digestible information to HCPs and patients that profoundly outlines risks and benefits. The long-term success of risk management and mitigation strategies relies on the manufacturer s ability to design and redesign REMS programs that reflect changing FDA regulations and evolving population health crises, while accounting for healthcare providers input on patient feedback. This ability is only supported through the consistent evaluation and assessment of risk management strategies. Developing and assessing a basic REMS programs is a thing of the past; it is now time to elevate your risk management operations to ensure patient safety and population health. Now celebrating its tenth anniversary, the REMS Summit convenes pharma, regulatory agencies, healthcare providers, and patient advocates to elevate and advance the operations of REMS programs. Our adept speaking faculty will arm you with proven strategies to facilitate benefitrisk counseling, optimize REMS operations through streamlined health system integration, leverage interoperable technologies for consistent communication, and increase patient safety through cross-functional collaboration. I look forward to welcoming you to Arlington this winter!
