“…A review of the current literature suggests common themes concerning barriers to MTM include insufficient time and staffing, concerns regarding compensation, and lack of proper training. [5][6][7][18][19][20] Adequate time to provide MTM appears to be the most unanimous challenge. However, in a study that separated survey respondents into groups of pharmacists who provide MTM with compensation, pharmacists who provide MTM without compensation, and pharmacists who are simply interested in providing MTM, only the latter group listed time and staffing as significant barriers to implementation of MTM.…”

Objective. To explore third-year pharmacy (P3) student perceptions of medication therapy management (MTM) after an introduction to the various levels of MTM services within an MTM course. Methods. A qualitative survey was conducted of 158 P3 students. Open-ended questions were used to explore students' thoughts, feelings, and perceptions related to the pharmacist's approach in MTM following a lecture establishing differences in roles and responsibilities between the varying levels of MTM. Emphasis was placed on the pharmacist's role when providing comprehensive medication management (CMM). CMM is a higher-level direct patient care service with a whole-patient focus that goes beyond medication or disease specific focuses of either a comprehensive medication review (CMR) or targeted medication review (TMR). Thematic analysis was performed and an inductive approach to data analysis was used. Results. The following five themes were identified: misperceptions entering the course, efficient delivery of MTM depends on understanding the differences between services, doctor of pharmacy education is a factor in confused MTM role expectations, role limitations exist and referrals to other providers, and the CMR meets unmet needs. Conclusion. Students noted initial confusion between their roles and responsibilities during a CMM versus a CMR. Pharmacy educators should address the varying roles and responsibility differences across MTM services within their curriculum.

Questions within and outside of the pharmacy profession frequently arise about a community pharmacy's capacity to provide patient-care services and maximize contributions to public health. It is surmised that community pharmacy locations must possess specific attributes and have identifiable resources within the location to effectively initiate and optimize their capacity to deliver patient care services in conjunction with medication distribution and other services. The purpose of this paper is to describe three research domains that can help pharmacies make the transition from "traditional" business models to "patient care centered" practices: (1) Work System Design, (2) Entrepreneurial Orientation, and (3) Organizational Flexibility. From these research domains, we identified 21 Work System Design themes, 4 dimensions of Entrepreneurial Orientation, and 4 types of Organizational Flexibility that can be used in combination to assist a practice location in transforming its business model to a "patient care centered" practice. The self-assessment tools we described in this paper could help realign an organization's activities to initiate and optimize capacity for patient care. Type: Idea Paper

“…Surveys of individual pharmacists have indicated a growing awareness of MTM and an increased interest in taking on additional responsibility in providing patient care services. 47,48 There is, however, no professional consensus on what qualification(s) pharmacists should have to provide such services. Some have called for residency training as a prerequisite for pharmacists involved in direct patient care.…”

“…In 2009, full-time pharmacists reported spending an average of 55% of their workdays performing tasks related to dispensing, while devoting only 16% to direct "patient care services." 47 High prescription volume and, until recently, persistent shortages in the pharmacist workforce have limited the availability of pharmacists to provide services beyond dispensing. Increased per-capita prescription consumption and estimates that 91 to 116 million additional prescriptions will be written annually for the new beneficiaries of healthcare reform legislation will impose additional demands on pharmacist time.…”
