Implementation of a medication therapy management collaborative within a pediatric health system

The implementation of a collaborative MTM model provided an opportunity to address drug-related problems to ensure the appropriate use of medication. The model consisted of pharmacy staff members within 2 different patient care environments working together to complete MTM services for patients throughout the health system. The key elements of the program included the use of training sessions tailored to the pharmacy staff member's role in MTM, incorporation of technician champions, and creation of pharmacist-initiated interventions.
