      MTM Daily Checklist

      Best practice: Make MTM tasks a part of your regular workflow. Determine which tasks align with the typical flow of your day.

      All following tasks can be completed by a technician

      Morning

      Take a few minutes to review work already in progress in order to plan follow-up with prescribers or patients, finish documentation for MTM services that were resolved and identify the next MTM opportunities to address.

      1. Log into the Outcomes platform to review the Dashboard
      2. Address any Claims to Review & Resubmit Review Patients in Progress
        • Did you receive prescriber responses that you can document?
        • Does the pharmacist need to follow up with a patient today?
        • Is it time for another contact attempt for prescriber or patient?
      3. Look for Scheduled CMRs
        • Provide reminder calls to patients with appointments in the next 24-48 hours.
      4. Look for Checkpoints Available for Adherence Monitoring 
        • Is it time to complete a quarterly checkpoint?
        • Review the Adherence Monitoring queue for any patients who may benefit from extra attention.
      5. Start new MTM Opportunities
        • Contact Needs CMR patients to set a time for them to talk with the pharmacist.
        • Add CMR appointments to each Patient Profile in the Outcomes platform.
        • Best practice: Schedule the CMR when the patient is due to pick up a refill.
        • Inform the pharmacist of TIPs to address today (create a list, add reminder notes in patient bags, etc.).
          • Best practice: Protect PHI. Do not print patient lists or TIPs as they contain sensitive information.

      Midday

      Throughout the day, prepare for upcoming appointments and document claims as MTM services are started or completed.

      1. Prepare for upcoming CMRs
        • Update Medication Profiles with directions, prescriber names, etc.
          • Best practice: Call the patient to verify current medications, including samples, cash pay and over-the-counter products.
        • Print CMR worksheet and enter in patient information. Store securely if PHI is included!.
      2. Complete documentation for any pending claims resolved today
      3. Pharmacist can deliver CMRs or discuss TIPs with patients
          • Best practice: Schedule CMRs during overlap, so the pharmacist can step away from the counter.

      Evening

      Wrap up documentation for today’s work and send out any remaining patient or prescriber communications.

      1. Document CMRs and any other completed MTM services in the OutcomesOneTM Platform
      2. Print and mail any Patient Takeaways
      3. Create and send prescriber recommendations
          • Best practice: Use the Create Prescriber Fax tool in the OutcomesOneTM platform
