For the last eight years, Ms. Basey was the executive director of Universities Allied for Essential Medicines, a global company that works to boost access and lower prices of medicines researched and developed at universities. 

“I believe that no one should be poor because they are sick or be sick because they are poor,” Ms. Basey said in a news release. “Looking forward, there are other key areas of the drug price system that must be tackled: patent reform, ensuring PBMs actually benefit patients and fair launch prices for new drugs.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
