Pharmacists are well positioned to collaborate with primary care providers (PCPs) to conduct comprehensive medication management (CMM). However, depending on organizational needs and pharmacist staffing resources, different pharmacist practice models have been implemented. In this commentary, we (1) describe 2 common pharmacist practice models in primary care settings, (2) explain variations in the CMM process based on 2 practice models, and (3) outline outcomes and implications of this expanded CMM process. By tailoring the CMM process to their practice model, pharmacists can follow consistent delivery of CMM services to create a common understanding among patients, PCPs, and other care team members.
