Is Medication Therapy Management (MTM) intended to be a one-time process?

Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is not intended to be a one-time process because it focuses on ensuring continuity of care for patients. MTM involves ongoing assessments of a patient’s medications and health status, which helps identify potential medication-related issues, optimize therapeutic outcomes, and promote adherence to prescribed therapies.

The process is designed to be repeated or revisited as patients' health conditions, medications, and life circumstances change. Regular follow-ups allow healthcare providers to adjust medication regimens as necessary and address any new issues that arise. By maintaining this continuity of care, pharmacists and other healthcare providers can foster better patient outcomes and enhance medication efficacy over time. Thus, the inclusion of ongoing support and evaluation is vital to the success of MTM programs.
