Psychiatric Pharmacist Integration into the Medical Home Model

Pharmacists have been providing traditional “clinical pharmacy” services for decades, including patient, family, and provider education, evaluation of treatment response and/or adverse effects, evidence-based and measurement-based care, and therapeutic drug monitoring. However, these functions cannot effectively occur in isolation from the practice of comprehensive medication management to have the most benefit to patients’ medication-related outcomes.

The goal is to improve access to care, improve healthcare-related outcomes, and decrease overall healthcare costs for patients with mental illness and medical comorbidities.
