Katherine H. Capps, Co-founder and Executive Director of the Get the Medications Right Institute, has been selected to speak at Global Health Care, LLC’s Value-Based Payment Summit taking place virtually from Monday, September 20 – Thursday, September 23. Capps’s presentation, “Unlocking Real-Time Drug Therapy Opportunities to Achieve Better Outcomes at Lower Costs,” will discuss the value of comprehensive medication management (CMM), a patient-centered process of care and a solution to ensuring a more appropriate, safe, effective and coordinated way to manage medications and ensure appropriate use of expensive drug therapies—achieving better care, lower costs and higher physician and patient satisfaction. She will present alongside Amanda Brummel PharmD, BCACP, of MHealth Fairview and Dan Rehrauer, PharmD, of HealthPartners.
The time for a better way to manage medications to ensure appropriate use has never been more important. Integrating medication management into the medical benefit as a patient care process is essential; in fact, a recent survey found that nearly one quarter of people do not have their medications routinely reviewed and evaluated by their medical team—a shocking fact, given that one-third are taking four or more medications and/or supplements per day. The GTMRx Institute—and its membership of over 1,400 health care leaders—advocates for the broad adoption of comprehensive medication management (CMM), a more rational process of care in which physicians and clinical pharmacists work together to ensure that each medication is appropriate for the patient, effective for their medical condition, safe given the patient’s health status and other medications and able to be taken by the patient as intended.
