What is a key reason for pharmacists conducting in-home medication reviews as part of MTM?

Conducting in-home medication reviews is an essential component of Medication Therapy Management (MTM) because it allows pharmacists to gain valuable insights into patients' medication use and adherence. By visiting patients in their own environment, pharmacists can better understand the context in which medications are taken, identify potential barriers to adherence, and address any misunderstandings about medications. This personalized approach facilitates open communication, enabling pharmacists to provide tailored recommendations and support that promote proper medication use and improve health outcomes.

Additionally, in-home reviews help to identify any discrepancies in medication regimens, including potential medication interactions and side effects that the patient might not report during standard pharmacy visits. This thorough understanding enhances the pharmacist's ability to work collaboratively with both the patient and their healthcare team.
