Effectiveness of Pharmacist-Led Medication Therapy Management (MTM) in Chronic Disease Care

الملخص

Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is a structured, patient-centered service provided by pharmacists to optimize therapeutic outcomes in patients with complex medication regimens, particularly those with chronic diseases. This study evaluates the effectiveness of pharmacist-led MTM interventions in improving medication adherence, clinical outcomes, and patient satisfaction among individuals diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. A quasi-experimental study design was employed with 120 participants divided into two groups: one receiving pharmacist-led MTM and the other receiving standard care. Over a six-month period, the MTM group demonstrated significantly improved medication adherence, better control of clinical parameters (HbA1c, blood pressure, LDL-C), and higher levels of patient satisfaction compared to the control group. These findings underscore the value of integrating pharmacists into chronic disease management teams and provide evidence for broader implementation of MTM services in outpatient care.
