OutcomesMTM Recognizes TOP West Virginia Pharmacy

Medication therapy management, also referred to as MTM, is a term used to describe a broad range of health care services provided by pharmacists, the medication experts on the health care team.

As defined in a consensus definition adopted by the pharmacy profession in 2004, medication therapy management is a service or group of services that optimize therapeutic outcomes for individual patients. Medication therapy management services include medication therapy reviews, pharmacotherapy consults, anticoagulation management, immunizations, health and wellness programs and many other clinical services. Pharmacists provide medication therapy management to help patients get the best benefits from their medications by actively managing drug therapy and by identifying, preventing and resolving medication-related problems.

Each year, OutcomesMTM recognizes pharmacies and pharmacy chain organizations
with exceptional performance in delivering MTM services to eligible patients. Providers in the Personal Pharmacist™ Network—from independent pharmacies to regional chains to those with a national presence—prove community pharmacists make a difference for patients. Contenders for Top MTM Center are evaluated on accessibility, engagement and effectiveness. As pharmacy engagement rises, the bar continues to be raised for top honors.

This year, Moundsville Pharmacy was recognized by OutcomesMTM as Top MTM Center in West Virginia for 2014. With more than 61,000 contracted pharmacies across the U.S., this achievement is something in which the Moundsville Pharmacy Team is very proud!!!
