Abstract:
|
Objective: To measure the impact of a Medication Therapy Management Services (MTMS) learning activity on pharmacy students’ knowledge, confidence, and opinions regarding MTMS.
Methods: Third-year professional pharmacy students (n=124) participated in a required activity that simulated the provision of MTMS. This included identification of drug-related problems, development of a plan for resolution, and billing for services. Students completed a survey tool one week prior to and directly following, the MTMS activity.
Results: Response rates for the pre and post-surveys were 99% and 98%, respectively. A significantly greater percentage of students answered questions evaluating knowledge of MTMS correctly post-training (p≤0.05). Students rated confidence in their ability to complete 18 steps of the MTMS process significantly higher post-training (p<0.0001). Average ratings indicate students are not fully confident in their ability to identify a billable service, and submit and appeal electronic claims. The percentage of students who agreed or strongly agreed that they possessed knowledge and skills necessary to provide MTMS post-training was nearly doubled from pre-survey results (52.5% and 26.8% respectively, p<0.05). Post training, 50% of students anticipated physician approval of pharmacist provided MTMS, and 73.8% intended to provide MTMS.
Implications: After participating in this simulated MTMS activity, students demonstrated increased knowledge, confidence and perceived skills in performing MTMS. Approximately half of the students were neutral or disagreed that they had adequate training to provide MTMS, and that they would receive physician approval. Scholarship should focus on incorporating identification of billable services, provider communication, and electronic billing into future MTMS activities. |
