“…This result is consistent with a number of studies [25,[29][30][31][32][33] on DTPs in which dosing and/or drug selection problems and drug interaction were identified among the major forms of DTPs encountered.…”

“…The trend of recommendation approval found in this study is also similar to the results of Root et al [30] where 75 % of the pharmacists' proposed interventions were approved. The lower rate of approval of proposed intervention obtained in the current study could be as a result of lack of collaboration between healthcare providers.…”

“…Appreciable number of DTPs identified were totally resolved. Just like in many studies where pharmaceutical care interventions were instituded [28][29][30], DTPs were resolved, patients' conditions were improved and consequently the rate of encoutered DTPs in that setting was reduced. This is predicated in high acceptance of the intervention by the doctors.…”

“…Although Ramalho de Oliveira et al [28] identified 38,631 DTPs over a period of 10 years, ð The denominator was 234 (total DTPs encountered); RI = renal impairment, DTP = Drug-Therapy problem, DI = Dosing inadequacy, Drugs with restrictions (dose adjustment needed in case of renal impairment (RI)) per patient, SD = Standard deviation. [29] in a period of two years, and Root et al [30] identified 88 DTPs from 40 patients. The difference in the number of DTPs encountered is probably due to differences in research design in terms of patients type, hospital types, duration of the studies and nature of data collected.Our study showed that mean drug per patient was almost 3.0 which is moderate, despite the involvement of older population of patients in this study.…”

“…17,18 An exemplification of these aspects of agreeableness may be observed in the pharmacy literature's traditional surrogate measure, physicians' acceptance of pharmacists' recommendations. [26][27][28][29] This focus on physicians' acceptance of pharmacists' recommendations, to indicate the value of pharmacists' contributions, could also have been obtained with a chart review looking at changes in medication therapy. However, measurement of physicians' acceptance may simply demonstrate the importance to pharmacists of gaining approval from other members of the medical team, as opposed to indicating improvement in patient outcomes.…”

Pharmacists are increasingly using medication therapy problem (MTP) metrics to monitor their clinical impact and demonstrate their value to health care organizations and commercial payers. Although the practice of documenting and resolving MTPs is well reported in the literature, there remains great diversity in how MTPs are categorized, documented, and reported. We conducted a review of the literature to gain key insights into the MTP classification systems, methods of MTP documentation, and MTP-related outcomes that are reported in the literature, as well as the elements of MTP documentation that are commonly employed in practice. Ninety-one articles were identified. These insights were used to develop a set of recommendations to help standardize the practice of MTP documentation in the profession. This review highlights the findings from these studies and outlines a set of recommendations for identifying, categorizing, documenting, and monitoring MTPs that can be applied across care settings. The recommendations include clearly defining the purpose for documenting MTPs; using an established, standardized MTP categorization framework and applying that framework consistently in practice; establishing a clear process for identifying and resolving MTPs; systematizing the documentation and reporting process; tracking the resolution of MTPs identified; and monitoring MTP data and assessing impact. MTP identification, documentation, and reporting are an important strategy for capturing, monitoring, and sharing the unique contributions of pharmacists in providing patient care. Although additional research is needed to clearly demonstrate the relationship between MTPs and humanistic, clinical, and economic outcomes, MTP resolution may be a useful process metric to demonstrate the value-added role of the pharmacist in the delivery of team-based, patient-centered care.clinical pharmacy services, drug, health care, medication therapy management, outcome and process assessment | INTRODUCTIONThe primary goal of health care is to improve the health and wellbeing of patients. Medications play a significant role in the prevention and treatment of short-term and long-term therapy disease, and pharmacists are uniquely poised as highly educated and trained medication specialists to optimize medication use and improve the health of patients. 1 Through the provision of comprehensive medication management (CMM), pharmacists helps ensure patients' medications are appropriate, effective, and safe, and that patients are adhering to
