Medication Management ServicesPQA Medication Management Services MeasuresMedication Therapy Management (MTM) can be assessed in multiple ways. Currently, two MTM measures are endorsed by PQA. The Completion Rate for Comprehensive Medication Review measure assesses the extent to which MTM-eligible patients receive a comprehensive medication review during their MTM-eligibility period. The Medication Therapy Problem Resolution (MTPR) monitoring measure is based on the PQA Medication Therapy Problem Categories Framework and evaluates the percentage of interventions that resolve medication therapy problems among individuals participating in an MTM program. PQA also has two quality improvement indicators that focus on MTM.
Medication Therapy Problem (MTP) Categories FrameworkThe Medication Therapy Problem (MTP) Categories Framework is a consensus-based document developed by the Pharmacy Quality Alliance’s (PQA’s) Measure Development Team (MDT) 9, to provide a framework for development of measures involving MTPs. The framework is intended to standardize how MTPs identified during Medication Therapy Management (MTM) encounters are categorized within measures. The MDT incorporated input from numerous MTM providers and practices and referred to MTP categories established in the literature. This standard framework for use within measures will promote consistent categorization and coding of MTPs and the related actions/recommendations to resolve the MTPs. You may access the Framework by submitting a request through the MTP Categories Framework form.
