Re: MTM by non-pharmacists
Our view is that MTM is ideally delivered by pharmacists, specifically the one-on-one engagements and comprehensive medication reviews. When a patient is in case management, a nurse takes the lead on the engagement and the pharmacists serves as consultant to case management. In this model, the case manager is actually delivering the MTM service, supported by a pharmacist-consultant. Also, home visits by nurses or nurses aids can support MTM with important information regarding medication organization and aherence. MTM services should be designed and led by pharmacists, but other professionals can contribute and support appropriate medication use.
