Abstract :
Hospital pharmacy is the profession that strives to continuously maintain and improve the medication management and pharmaceutical care of patients to the highest standards in a hospital setting. Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose, which leads over time to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. This study examines the relationship between a pharmacist-led and delivered medication therapy management (MTM) program and achievement of Optimal Diabetes Care benchmarks. MTM is a patient-centered approach that involves pharmacists working collaboratively with healthcare professionals to optimize medication use. It includes components such as medication review, assessment, monitoring, and patient education. MTM promotes medication safety, reduces hospital readmissions, and prevents adverse drug events. Integrating pharmacists into the healthcare team is crucial for successful MTM implementation. A total number of 80 cases are included in our study, all these cases met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Parameters we assessed in the study are demographic data, risk factors, symptoms, disease diagnosed, complications, category of drugs, drug name. This study aimed to assess the current practices and perceptions surrounding MTM for type 2 diabetes through a comprehensive survey analysis. A survey instrument was designed to evaluate healthcare professionals’ perspectives, including physicians, pharmacists, and diabetes educators, as well as patient experiences and perceptions of MTM. The survey was distributed electronically to a diverse sample of healthcare professionals and patients across various healthcare settings. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to identify key themes and trends in MTM practices and perceptions.
