Medication therapy management (MTM) is a comprehensive approach to ensuring that patients are receiving the best possible care for their medication-related needs. It involves a collaborative effort between the patient, their healthcare provider, and their pharmacist to optimize drug therapy and improve patient outcomes. MTM has a significant impact on the pharmacy industry, including the following:

One of the primary benefits of MTM is improved patient outcomes. Pharmacists who practice MTM are able to identify and address potential drug-related problems before they become serious. This can help prevent adverse drug reactions, reduce hospitalizations, and improve overall patient health.
Increased Patient Satisfaction
Patients who receive MTM services are often more satisfied with their care. This is because they feel that their pharmacist is taking a proactive approach to managing their medication therapy and is looking out for their best interests. As a result, patients are more likely to adhere to their medication regimen and are more likely to stay engaged with their healthcare provider. Read more >
