Implementation of a Standardized Medication Therapy Management Plus Approach within Primary Care

Conclusion:
Implementing a clinical pharmacist-led MTM Plus service in the primary care setting is feasible. This study highlights that DGIs are common in older adults in family practice and indicates that PGx testing identifies additional MRPs that may otherwise go unnoticed in these patients. The experiences we shared can aid other clinicians in establishing successful MTM Plus services. Future studies should also measure the impact of such personalized medicine services on economic, clinical, and humanistic outcomes. This study has been registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (study No. NCT02748148).
