How Well Do You Know Your 340B Program: Self Assessment

January 15, 2026

Most 340B programs are doing important, meaningful work every day.
This self-assessment isn’t about what’s missing, it’s about understanding how clearly your program is structured and supported today.

As 340B programs evolve, having strong visibility and shared understanding becomes just as important as day-to-day operations. The prompts below are designed to help you reflect on where clarity is already strong and where additional alignment could be helpful.

A Simple Starting Point

If you were asked to walk leadership through your 340B program tomorrow, how prepared would you feel?

Not with new reports or follow-ups, just based on what you already know and can explain.

That perspective can be a helpful guide.

Program Awareness

  • Can you explain your 340B process end-to-end, from purchasing drugs through how savings are generated and tracked?
  • Do you understand how data flows between systems and partners?
  • Are roles and responsibilities across the program generally clear?

When awareness is shared, conversations tend to be more efficient and productive.

Financial Understanding

  • Do you have a clear view of what contributes most to program value?
  • Can you explain changes in financial performance with confidence?
  • Are financial results consistent across reporting views?

Clear financial understanding supports stronger planning and decision-making.

Reporting & Communication

  • Do reports answer leadership questions clearly?
  • Is there alignment across teams on key definitions and assumptions used in the program?
  • Is reporting designed to inform decisions, not just document activity?

Well-aligned reporting reduces follow-up and increases confidence.

Adaptability

  • When changes arise, is the impact generally understood?
  • How easily can adjustments be made within your current structure?
  • Does your program have the flexibility to adapt without operational disruption?

Programs designed with alignment tend to respond more comfortably to change.

Having clear answers to these questions doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from having a dedicated team that understands your program end to end, keeping key details top of mind, monitoring performance consistently, and ensuring answers are grounded in accurate, connected information. With the right support in place, these questions don’t feel disruptive when they arise; they’re simply part of ongoing, confident program management.
