MEDICATION THERAPY MANAGEMENT SERVICE Tuscaloosa ONLY
Capstone's Medication Therapy Management service starts with a comprehensive medical history on each patient(including past & current Rx medications , herbal products and OTC medications) plus most recent lab results available along with patients current immunization status.
Capstone's Medication Therapy Management service is a patient-centered process of care that includes assessment and evaluation of the patient and his or her complete medication therapy regimen rather than focusing on an individual medication product. MTM is designed to improve collaboration among pharmacists, physicians, and other health care professionals; enhance communication between patients and their health care team; empower patients to be self-advocates;and optimize medication use for improved patient outcomes.
Capstone's MTM service creates a Medication-Related Action Plan being careful not to overwhelm or confuse our patients. We limit the action items for each patient to no more than three or four at a time. We solicit patient input for which actions to include in the plan. Patient acceptance is of utmost importance to acheive the best outcome. Items with the highest priority will be addressed first. Lower priority items can be added to a subsequent MAP or at the patients next visit.
