Development and Implementation of a Novel Pharmacist-Led MedAdherence Program Utilizing the PQA Medication Therapy Problem (MTP) Framework

Session Description: Medication non-adherence is a multifactorial public health issue. It is crucial to identify patients who are at risk of non-adherence to maximize effects of an intervention and some evidence suggests that measures of previous adherence may be a strong indicator of future adherence. Pharmacist-led coordinated care has shown to improve medication adherence in higher-risk, complex patients who are negatively impacted by a myriad of factors across the continuum of care. This session will review how medication adherence measures and medication use quality improved for patients enrolled in a population health pharmacist-led medication adherence program. Additionally, the utilization of PQA’s Medication Therapy Problem (MTP) Framework for an initial comprehensive medication review (CMR) as the first step of enrollment in this program will be discussed. Join us to explore the impact and discuss the results of this novel population health pharmacist-led program to improve medication adherence in a geriatric primary care practice setting.
