A preview of the Handbook’s purpose and objectives
The handbook aims to provide pharmacists with information that fully
supports them in delivering quality care to patients in the context of an everchanging health system. This resource provides clinical decision-making
information and patient counseling based on best practice. We also need
to reemphasize building positive relationships with patients and healthcare
providers and fellow team members of the interdisciplinary team.
MTM: The Future of Healthcare in the Vial of Medicine
MTM optimizes patient outcomes in the growing complexity of drug
therapeutics. Pharmacists are the experts who analyze, monitor, and adjust
medication therapies, to ensure patients receive the best therapy at the
lowest risk. As medication therapy managers, pharmacists help to prevent
adverse drug events, hospital readmissions and medication non-adherence,
leading in the end to improved health outcomes and decreased health care
costs.
