Missouri Pharmacy Coalition• The Missouri Pharmacy Coalition facilitates alignment
among pharmacy organizations and collaborates with other healthcare organizations to improve patient care outcomes and foster timely change.
• Organized in September 2008, the Coalition has met five times.
• Composed of members from academia, health system, independent retail , chain, long term care, consulting and nuclear pharmacy practice.
Missouri Pharmacy Coalition Vision and Projects
• The Missouri Pharmacy Coalition is the unified voice catalyzing implementation of best practices that improve patient care outcomes.
• Medication Management Therapy (MTM)
• Collaboration on potential fall meeting to educate pharmacists about new MTM rules
MTM in Missouri Current laws in the State of Missouri do
not define Medication Therapy Management (MTM) and the rules applying to hospital pharmacy practice do not address the tasks and responsibilities a pharmacist can and cannot engage in.
Examples include collaborative agreements with your medical staff.
MTM in Missouri• 2007 Legislative Session
– State Legislature passed the Pharmacy Practice Act
– Missouri Revised Statutes - Chapter 338– http://www.moga.mo.gov/statutes/C338.HTM
• Promulgating Rules– The state board of registration for the healing
arts and the state board of pharmacy will jointly promulgate rules regulating the use of protocols for medication therapy services.
What is MTM?(6) Modifying Drug Therapy. If allowed in the written protocol, a pharmacist shall be authorized to modify a patient’s non-controlled substance medication therapy, subject to the following:
(A) Modifying medication therapy may include initiating, selecting, modifying or administering medication therapy or devices, …or selecting a different strength, dose, dosage form, dosage schedule or route of administration if the medication or device and the criteria for such modification or selection are specifically identified in the written protocol.
Examples of Protocols• Vancomycin Dosing• Renal Adjustment of LMWH• Warfarin Dosing Protocols• IV to PO Protocols• Immunization Screening
Protocols• Therapeutic Interchange
Protocols
Credentialing• Pharmacist must receive a certificate from
Board of Pharmacy to participate in MTM• Fee tied to the statute to participate in
MTM ($50)• Bachelor trained pharmacists will
