Comprehensive Care Through Medication Therapy Management

As part of Hemophilia of Georgia’s comprehensive care for people with bleeding disorders, patients of HoG and Beacon pharmacies expect and receive high quality care from our Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Pharmacist and Clinical Care Team. This year, we welcomed a new member of the MTM Pharmacy Team, Amita Vel who joined MTM Pharmacist, Larry Peji, to complete our team.

As a member of the multi-disciplinary healthcare team, the Clinical MTM Pharmacist collaborates with nurses, social workers, prescribers, and other healthcare providers to help patients manage their medications and provide them with the highest quality of care possible to improve their health outcomes.

Did you know our Clinical MTM Pharmacists provide one-on-one telephone consultations with pharmacy patients? 

• All new patients receive an initial pharmacy assessment prior to starting therapy. During this consultation, the pharmacist reviews all medications the patient is taking in addition to bleeding disorder therapies. This is called a drug reconciliation, and it is one of the ways we are able to provide specialized and tailored services to our patients at no extra cost. 
• Prescribed factor and non-factor bleeding disorder medications are also reviewed to include dosage, directions for use, and storage. Any other medical conditions should be discussed as well, along with listing any drug allergies.
• When patients call in to refill a prescription, the pharmacy staff will ask for updates on weight changes, new medications started, new allergies, and any new medical conditions. If there are new products prescribed or any changes in current therapy, an assessment is done again. 
• The MTM Pharmacist also conducts reassessments for clients using our pharmacies.

We are proud to offer Medication Therapy Management services to our HoG and Beacon patients at no cost.
