Mission Statement
Medication Therapy Management is a distinct service or group of services that optimize
therapeutic outcomes for individual patients. Medication Therapy Management services
are independent of, but can occur in conjunction with, the dispensing of a medication
at the pharmacy. Medication Therapy Management encompasses a broad range of professional
activities and responsibilities within the licensed pharmacist's scope of practice.
These services include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Performing an assessment of the patient's health status.
- Performing a comprehensive medication review to identify, resolve and prevent medication-related
problems, including adverse drug events.
- Formulating a medication treatment plan.
- Monitoring and evaluating the patient's response to therapy, including safety and
effectiveness.
- Providing verbal education and training designed to enhance patient understanding
and appropriate use of his/her medications.
