ABOUT Medication Therapy Management
Medication Therapy Management or MTM was coined by Congress in the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 to describe services by pharmacists that help consumers get the best results from medications through:
-
Enhanced consumer understanding of medications
-
Increased consumer adherence to medication directions
-
Prevention of drug complications, conflicts and interactions
A safe and effective medication taken improperly, or in a bad combination, can be harmful or even disastrous. MTM prevents these complications and improves health care quality while reducing avoidable medical expenses.
The Outcomes network of Personal Pharmacists is highly-trained in MTM. Their trusted and reliable services can be the difference between improved health and serious medication-related complications.
