10 Elements for Integrated Medication Management
Why MTM

An estimated 15% of the U.S. population (some 46
million people) are high-risk, high-cost, medically
complex patients:
 multiple
chronic health conditions
 multiple and sometimes dangerous medications
 multiple health care providers
 experience barriers to accessing care
 poorly adhere to medication regimens.

Integrated Delivery Systems With Clinical Pharmacy Services. Retrieved May 1, 2012 from http://pspcnationalperform

Why MTM


Uncoordinated medication management accounts
for more than 30% of total health care costs.
Reform efforts aimed at these high-risk patients
could save over $240 billion per year.

Project Overview
Role of Public Health in MTM



CDC publication released in
August 2012
Identified opportunities for
public health to engage new
partners to improve
management of HTN and
diabetes
In February 2013, CDC issued
new RFP to fund state public
health chronic disease programs

Domain 3: Health System Interventions

Increase use of team-based care in health systems





Increase engagement of non-physician team members, i.e.,
nurses, pharmacists, and patient navigators, in HTN and
diabetes management in the health care system
34% of Ohioans have HTN. Control rates not optimal.
Only 50% of diagnosed patients are <140/90.
10% of Ohioans have diabetes; 14% of AfricanAmericans;
Prevalence and mortality from HTN and diabetes
higher in minority populations
Heart disease, stroke and diabetes are among leading
causes of death in Ohio
Purpose & Goals
To expand medication therapy management (MTM) provided by
pharmacists to patients cared for in Federally-qualified Health Centers
(FQHCs) in Ohio to reduce the burden of chronic disease.
 Primary aims include increasing the number of FQHC patients with
a/an:




A1C in control, defined as <9%
Blood pressure in control, defined as <140/90 mmHg
Diabetes composite control, defined as A1C, BP, and LDL in control
Secondary aims include increasing the number of FQHC patients:


Seen by pharmacists and details on Medication-related Problems
(MRPs), Adverse Drug Events/potential Adverse Drug Events
(ADEs/pADEs), including cost avoidance
With access or referral to chronic disease or diabetes self-management
