Improving Medication Adherence in an ACO Primary Care Office With a PharmacistLed Clinic: A Report From the ACORN SEED

Abstract

A total of 102 patients were referred to the MTM clinic. Out of these, 32 had a follow-up visit, resulting in a total of 25 interventions. One year prior to MTM clinic implementation, most Star Ratings were consistently 3 (out of 5) for RAS antagonists, diabetic medications, and statins. Postintervention, ratings increased to 4 or 5 across these categories. <b>Conclusion</b>: Implementing a pharmacist-led MTM clinic in the ACO primary care setting improves Medicare Star Ratings in patients with chronic conditions.
