Background: Medication therapy management (MTM) may be optimized if pharmacists engaged in health information exchange (HIE) by reviewing unedited medical records. Methods: In this nonblinded, randomized, controlled pilot, delivered a part of MTM, comprehensive medication reviews (CMRs), to adult patients practice-based research network (PBRN).

Main outcome measures were adherence at 12 months, hospital admissions emergency department visits 6 total paid claim months. Multivariate regression models used to adjust for age, sex,...
Abstract Objective Few community pharmacies have access to health information exchange (HIE) data. We conducted a first-of-its-kind usability evaluation of an HIE interface prototype (referred throughout as the “HIE-Pioneer mock-up”) developed with pharmacists and pharmacy technicians aid future implementation in pharmacies. Methods Community were recruited complete evaluations HIE-Pioneer mock-up. Each lasted up 60 minutes. System scale (SUS) scores collected from each participant following...

Design Retrospective analysis data from enrolled previously published study. Data Sources Two administrative claims file databases (for health care utilization and prescription dispensing information) one pharmacy organization for MTM program information. Patients Seven hundred twelve adult who participated statewide...
Medication therapy management (MTM) program evaluations have revealed mixed outcomes, with some studies finding favorable outcomes and others no differences between patients who received MTM versus those did not. One possible reason for variability is in delivery of programs. The Chronic Care Model (CCM) provides a framework how health care organizations can improve the chronically ill through 6 elements: organization care, system design, clinical information systems, decision support,...
Medication non-adherence is a significant public health problem. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) offer rich data source to facilitate resolution of medication non-adherence.
