Sullivan received his Bachelors of Pharmacy from Oregon State University, College of Pharmacy in 1983, Masters of Science from the University of Texas, Austin in 1986, and his Doctor of Philosophy from the University of California Berkeley in 1992. During his doctoral training, Sullivan was advised by Teh-wei Hu, a prominent health economist at the University of California Berkeley.

Career

[edit]

Sullivan is currently Full Professor at University of Washington School of Pharmacy and University of Washington School of Public Health, and Visiting Professor at London School of Economics and Political Science (2022-2026).

AMCP Dossier

[edit]

The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) Dossier, a comprehensive document containing information about the effectiveness, safety, and economic impact of a pharmaceutical agent, is used by healthcare decision-makers to inform them on policies associated with formulary coverage and price negotiation.[4] Sullivan was instrumental in its development along with Paul C. Langley from Latrobe University. Drawing inspiration from the Australian guidelines for informing drug coverage by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC), they developed the framework for managed care organizations to standardize their decision-making process to incorporate clinical and economic outcomes, which included product description, place in therapy, comparator products, therapy intervention framework, supporting clinical data, supporting pharmacoeconomic data, system impact assessments-costs-outcomes, overall assessment.[5] This led to the first AMCP Dossier Format version 1.0, which was publised in October 2000.[6],[7] Since it's inception, the AMCP Dossier for Formulary Submissions has been widely used by managed care organizations and formulary managers to inform them on healthcare decisions regarding formulary coverage and price negoations. In recognition of his contributions, Sullivan was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2020.[8]

Value-Based Formulary

[edit]

Value-based formulary design (VBID) leverages health technology assessment or cost-effectiveness analysis to identify high-value pharmaceutical interventions that healthcare insurers are willing to pay or provide to their beneficiaries.[9] Sullivan and colleagues were one of the first to evaluate the effectiveness of value-based formulary design on large healthcare systems.[10],[11],[12] Their findings indicated that value-based formulary design can decrease costs while maintaining the quality of healthcare delivered by health care plans.

Medicare Price Negotiation

[edit]

In 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act (Public Law 117-169), which gave Medicare (United States) the ability to directy negotiate with pharmaceutical manufactures for some of the costliest drugs on the Part B and D plans. Sullivan and colleagues wrote a series of papers discussing the impact of this law on pharmaceutical pricing.[13],[14],[15],[16] In particular, they identified the complexities with Medicare's decision on price negotations and a offered transparent and systematic process to arrive at an initial price offering.[17],[18]

Awards and Recognition

[edit]

Sullivan has been a member of the National Academy of Medicine since 2020[19] and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science since 2022.[20] Sullivan was awarded the Outstanding Alumnus Award from Oregon State University in 2019,[21] the David Almquist Award from the Washington State Pharmacy Association in 2016, the Career Research Achievement Award from the American Pharmacists Association in 2015, and the Steven G. Avey Award from the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy in 2014.[22]
