South Dakota Medication Therapy Management (MTM)
The South Dakota Department of Health’s Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program and Diabetes Prevention and Control Program have partnered with South Dakota State University on a five year medication therapy management implementation and promotion project. By working with patient, practitioner, and payer stakeholder groups, the partnership will create a state-wide sustainable and financially viable community-based practice model that helps with prevention and management of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This work is part of the CDC funded 1815 cooperative agreement focusing on promoting the adoption of MTM between pharmacists and physicians for the purpose of managing high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and lifestyle management and increasing engagement of pharmacists in the provision of medication management or DSMES (diabetes self-management education and support) for people with diabetes.
