Medication Therapy Management and Its Influence on Patient Adherence

Abstract

Medication non-adherence remains a major barrier to effective healthcare worldwide, contributing to poorer outcomes, increased hospitalizations, and higher healthcare costs. Medication Therapy Management (MTM) has emerged as a structured spectrum of patient-centered services aiming to optimize pharmacotherapy and support patients’ adherence to their medication regimens. This paper reviews recent evidence on MTM interventions, highlighting how MTM influences patient adherence and related outcomes across clinical contexts. The findings underscore the critical role of pharmacists and interdisciplinary teams in improving medication adherence, patient satisfaction, and health outcomes.
