Physicians' views of self-monitoring of blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes not on insulin.
This qualitative study examines to what extent and why physicians still prescribe self-monitoring of blood glucose in patients with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes when the evidence shows it increases cost without improving hemoglobin A1c, general well-being, or health-related quality of life.

Medication therapy management interventions in outpatient settings: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Medication therapy management (MTM) services (also called clinical pharmacy services) aim to reduce medication-related problems and their downstream outcomes. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of MTM interventions among outpatients with chronic illnesses. The investigators graded the evidence as insufficient for most outcomes because of inconsistency and imprecision that stemmed in part from underlying heterogeneity in populations and interventions.
