NCPDP Unscripted Podcast

colLAB: NCPDP’s Open-to-All Connection Events

Welcome to colLAB! A free, interactive event where the healthcare industry comes together to connect, collaborate, and explore real-world innovation shaping pharmacy technology, healthcare workflows, and the future of NCPDP standards.

Who can attend?
Everyone! An NCPDP membership is not required to attend colLAB events.

What is colLAB like?
colLAB is a collaborative, interactive experience designed to bring the healthcare industry together in an open forum environment focused on the topics that matter most to members. Use cases and discussion topics are selected and led by members to encourage meaningful conversation around real-world challenges, opportunities, workflows, and innovation happening across healthcare technology and standards.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with peers across pharmacy, provider, payer, and technology organizations through facilitated discussion, collaboration, networking, and idea sharing. Whether you’re looking to exchange insights, explore industry trends, or help shape future conversations around healthcare interoperability and standards, colLAB provides a space to connect and collaborate with the industry.

What’s different about the August colLAB?
We listened to your feedback from our last colLAB event! This colLAB will feature a more open, discussion-focused format with no demonstrators or patient stories. Instead, the conversations and use cases will be driven by YOU — the industry professionals experiencing these challenges, opportunities, and innovations every day.
We invite members and attendees to submit use cases and lead conversations around the topics that matter most to the industry.
