What is a medication therapy management (MTM) service designed to achieve?

Medication Therapy Management (MTM) services are specifically designed to optimize therapeutic outcomes for patients. MTM focuses on the safe and effective use of medications to improve overall patient health. This process involves a detailed review of a patient's medication regimen, identification of potential issues such as drug interactions, duplication of therapy, and compliance barriers, and the development of a comprehensive medication plan tailored to the individual's needs.

By ensuring that patients receive the right medications at the right dosages, and educating them about how to manage their therapy effectively, MTM aims to enhance the effectiveness of treatment, reduce adverse drug events, and improve patients' adherence to medication regimens. All of these factors contribute to achieving better health outcomes, making this option the primary goal of MTM services.

The other options may address aspects of the healthcare system but do not align with the core purpose of MTM, which is centered around patient care and medication optimization.
