The effectiveness of pharmacist-provided telephonic medication therapy management on emergency department utilization in home health patients.
This article's objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a telephonic medication therapy management (MTM) service on reducing emergency department utilization within a Medicare-insured home health population. The authors found that this pharmacist-delivered telephonic medication therapy management program did not decrease emergency department utilization overall but may further reduce the such risk among patients who are at lower risk of utilization.

Intensive treatment and severe hypoglycemia among adults with type 2 diabetes.
The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of intensive treatment and the association between intensive treatment, clinical complexity, and incidence of severe hypoglycemia among adults with type 2 diabetes who are not using insulin. The researchers found that over 20% of patients with type 2 diabetes received intensive treatment that might have been unnecessary and that among patients with high clinical complexity, intensive treatment nearly doubled the risk of severe hypoglycemia.

Timing of first postdischarge follow-up and medication adherence after acute myocardial infarction.
The investigators sought to determine whether earlier outpatient follow-up after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with higher rates of medication adherence. They found that delayed outpatient follow-up beyond the first 6 weeks after AMI is associated with worse short-term and long-term patient medication adherence. They concluded that medication adherence is modifiable via improved care transitions.
