What is one common barrier to effective MTM implementation?

One common barrier to effective Medication Therapy Management (MTM) implementation is a lack of patient awareness or understanding of MTM services. When patients are unaware of the MTM services available to them, they are less likely to engage with healthcare providers about their medication regimen. This lack of engagement can result in missed opportunities to optimize medication use, improve adherence, and address any concerns or questions patients may have about their treatments. Effective MTM relies on proactive participation from patients to share their experiences and concerns, making patient education and awareness critical in enhancing the overall effectiveness of these programs. By increasing awareness, patients can better recognize the benefits of MTM, leading to improved health outcomes and more efficient healthcare delivery.
