Applying participatory design to a pharmacy system intervention.
Researchers used participatory design (PD) to develop a patient-centered prototype for a community pharmacy. The stakeholders recruited for the intervention were pharmacy staff and older adult patients who received prescriptions at the pharmacy corporation involved in this study. The PD process is a series of six adaptive sessions: 1) problem identification, 2) solution generation, 3) convergence, 4) prototyping, 5) initial evaluation, and 6) formative evaluation. The sessions resulted in the development of a patient-centered community pharmacy prototype.

Provision of medication therapy management by pharmacists to patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus in a federally qualified health center.
This article describes a medication therapy management (MTM) pilot program that was implemented at a federally qualified health center. This program was implemented at three clinics involving patients with uncontrolled diabetes, defined as hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) greater than 8 percent. Fifty-seven patients met the established criteria and were enrolled in the six-month program. Thirty-seven patients completed the program and had an average 15 percent reduction in HbA1c.

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.
