CMM Practice in Real Time: Clinical pharmacy specialists on the VA care team

Download Issue Brief

“To get the medications right for the individual patient the first time, we have to change the mindset about practice design. Advanced practice organizations are integrating the medication experts into the care team.”

Comprehensive medication management is a team sport, with the potential to improve patient care and access while optimizing the skills of all clinicians on the team. The Veterans Health Administration has systematically integrated clinical pharmacy specialists into the care team to accomplish CMM for a range of chronic conditions. In this webinar, we explore the practice model and outcomes of CMM integration, as well as the tools that support the team.
