Fun Facts

Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is an interactive and detailed medication review, reconciliation and consultation conducted in real time between the patient and/or caregiver and pharmacist.

Pharmacist-estimated cost savings to the American health system were estimated in one study to be over 2 million USD.

95.3% of patients in one study stated that their overall health and wellbeing had improved because of pharmacist-provided MTM services.

In one study, the average health care costs in patients who were prescribed high risk medications was 36% greater than costs associated with patients who were not exposed to high-risk medications. Pharmacist-based health care consultations led to a decrease in high-risk medication use in older adults by 73%

Patients that had a Medication Reconciliation Post Discharge performed by a pharmacist had 16% hospital readmission rates compared to patients who were not seen by a pharmacist after discharge who experienced 36% readmission rates.

Some 50% of Americans do not take their medications as directed by their doctor for a number of reasons. This non-adherence leads to preventable hospitalizations and preventable deaths, and costs 16% or $500 billion of the entire U.S. healthcare spend every year.

In one observational study, our pharmacist-led clinical interventions resulted in a remarkable rise in HEDIS/STARs rating from 1-2 stars in the first year to 4-5 stars by the second year.
