Make Every Encounter Count
Speaker:
Randy P. McDonough, PharmD, MS, CGP, BCPS, FAPhA
Co-Owner and Director of Clinical Services, Towncrest, Solon Towncrest, and Towncrest Compounding Pharmacies
Learning Objectives:
Community pharmacists need to positively impact performance measures to continue with a successful practice as part of a preferred provider network. This may require adaptations to current practice strategies to allow evaluation of all patients’ drug therapy through workflow and appointment-based services. In other words, pharmacists need to “make every encounter count” with all patients. This can be done effectively and efficiently with continuous medication monitoring (CMM). This program will review the CMM process and provide pharmacists with the knowledge and skills to positively affect all patients’ drug therapy.
Upon successful completion of this application-based CPE activity, pharmacists should be able to:
• Discuss rationale for moving toward a new model of patient care.
• Explain the continuous medication monitor (CMM) process.
• Recognize the performance measures that are applicable and meaningful to the CMM process.
• Summarize the practice changes needed to achieve high performance.
• Illustrate, though case examples, how to apply CMM to community practice.
