“…[26][27] Various strategies for improving these relationships have been suggested such as the pharmacist being the initiator of relationships, building trust through provision of high quality patient care recommendations, providing education to physicians on the pharmacist's role, and utilizing facsimile while exploring other prescriber-preferred methods to communicate recommendations. [28][29][30] Similarly, prior work has found that referrals to community resources as part of MTM are uncommon 18 and that opportunities to enhance collaborations between community pharmacies and other community-based organizations is evident. 31 The use of scripted language for introducing/explaining MTM also is addressed by one of the items in the facilitators scale.…”

Background Completion rates for medication therapy management (MTM) services have been lower than desired and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has added MTM comprehensive medication review (CMR) completion rates as a Part D plan star measure. Over half of plans utilize community pharmacists via contracts with MTM vendors. Objectives The primary objective of this survey study was to identify factors associated with the CMR completion rates of community pharmacies contracted with a national MTM vendor.

Highlights Polypharmacy is common in long term care facilities and frequently associated with poor outcomes. A focus on decreasing polypharmacy as part of 60-day periodic review process in long term care facilities has the potential to improve resident outcomes and assist health care providers in improved medication management. To achieve success in decreasing polypharmacy, an interdisciplinary team with shared goals and communication is needed.

Development of a Communication Strategy to Increase Interprofessional Collaboration in the Outpatient Setting

et al. 2018

Managing patient health is a complex task, requiring the support of an interprofessional healthcare team. Collaboration between neighboring community pharmacies and primary care practices can be an alternate solution for team-based patient care. The purpose of this project was to design and implement a communication strategy for patients with diabetes and hypertension between a community pharmacy and physician practice. An interprofessional team for the practice settings was formed to develop a strategy for collaboration. After agreeing on the common goals and target patient population for the disease states, the team devised a way to communicate via electronic health record (EHR). The communication strategy allowed for more frequent follow-up with the patients which has the potential to result in better clinical outcomes. A communication strategy between a community pharmacy and a physician practice office can be achieved using EHR technology. The greatest outcome of this project was the formation of the collaborative team between the practice settings that continues to work together on additional patient-centered initiatives. Further research is warranted to allow for incorporation of patient perspectives in development of communication strategies.
