2012 Annual Meeting in Tampa, FL, April 29-May 2
Pre-Meeting Workshop: MTM Boot Camp The Business of Patient Care: Incorporating Comprehensive Medication Management (MTM) into your Practice
Where do you “fit” in the new health care system as a neuropsychiatric pharmacist? This day-long workshop will begin with an update on the health care system. The emphasis will be on the role of the pharmacist in the new organizational structures of the medical home and accountable care organizations.
The program will then demonstrate what payers want from pharmacists who wish to provide medication management services. Keys to defining your service, recruiting patients, demonstrating your value, charging for your services and expanding your service will all be demonstrated.
This workshop will provide critical information to pharmacists in all practice settings. You will get important questions answered and understand what changes are needed to achieve and maintain a successful practice. You will also have the opportunity to learn from individuals in the private sector who have experience in delivering medication management services. Join us with the goal of making your service even more successful in 2012.
