"Acceptability of patient-centered, multi-disciplinary medication therapy management recommendations: results from the INCREASE randomized study," Noah I Smith, Ashley I Martinez, Mark Huffmyer, Lynne Eckmann, Rosmy George, Erin L Abner, Gregory A Jicha, Daniela C Moga
Abstract: Polypharmacy and inappropriate medications may be a modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). Medication therapy management (MTM) interventions may mitigate medication-induced cognitive dysfunction and delay onset of symptomatic impairment. The objective of the current study is to describe an MTM protocol for a patient-centered team intervention (pharmacist and non-pharmacist clinician) in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) directed at delaying the symptomatic onset of ADRD.
