Medication Therapy Management: An Opportunity to Lower Costs and Improve Outcomes

March 16, 2011 12:30pm  - 1:30pm  ET

Each year, medication-related problems account for an estimated 1.5 million preventable adverse events that cost the U.S. health insurance industry approximately $177 billion. Medications have such a significant impact on the cost and quality of care that Medication Therapy Management (MTM) has become a critical component of member-centric care management models.

Join MEDecision Chief Medical Officer Andrew Schuyler, M.D., and Product Marketing Director Nancy Bucceri, for a complimentary webinar examining MTM, the technologies required to successfully implement it and how health plans are the single entity best positioned to facilitate improved outcomes with MTM tools and programs. The session will discuss how MEDecision's solutions are ideal for MTM because of their ability to gather comprehensive data from disparate sources and transform it into actionable information that can then be delivered to the proper source at the right time to optimize clinical outcomes.

This webinar will reinforce the need for health plans to deliver MTM programs and answer the following questions:

  • What is MTM and why is it important?
  • Who drives MTM programs today?
  • What is the financial impact of MTM programs to health plans?
  • How does the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's Interim Final Rule on Medical Loss Ratio classify MTM services?
  • What are the information technology requirements of an MTM program?
  • What is MEDecision's approach to supporting MTM?
