Acting on the $528 Billion Opportunity: Training to Advance Comprehensive Medication Management in Practice

Download Issue Brief

“We’re blending a wide range of modalities, both conventional and complementary, and we’re delivering this collaboratively by a wide range of health care professionals. It’s interprofessional. It’s very complex, and that complexity really requires specialized education.”

What will it take to expand the use of comprehensive medication management? Greater awareness among payers, providers and patients is required, of course. More specifically, it will require education and training. Perhaps the most important aspect is integration of CMM—and the clinical pharmacist—into the care team. That takes savvy in team-based care integration, creating collaborative practice agreements and more. This webinar explores the need for CMM and implications for pharmacy education and training, as well as how CMM is integrated into team-based care models.
