Introduction
The need for Medication Therapy Management (MTM) services in the U.S. is greater than ever, based on the growing prevalence of chronic disease, an aging population, and increasing reliance on medication therapies. Medication-related adverse events, waste, and misuse continue to exact a financial and personal toll on patients, payers, and the health care system as a whole.
Pharmacists are among the most qualified health care professionals to provide MTM services.
To meet the needs of pharmacy professionals who want to begin an MTM practice or expand their knowledge and skills in MTM, this program provides the fundamentals (Medicare Part D MTM latest requirements, patient selection, documentation, reimbursement) as well as training to enhance skills in managing patient and provider communication, polypharmacy, adherence, and medication safety.
The video clip below, presented by nationally recognized MTM experts, discusses why pharmacists need to expand their skills in MTM delivery. Related videos on this topic are included in Modules 1 and 10 of the certificate program.
