Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional project measured the provider acceptance rates of MTM interventions for Medicare Part D beneficiaries. Intervention count and acceptance rates were analyzed from the center’s MTM software and database that utilizes prescription claims analysis post-intervention to determine intervention success. A chi-square test was used to assess the statistical significance between the interventions. An alpha level of 0.5 was determined a-priori. This was a quality improvement project, and Institutional Review Board approved this project as exempt status. Results: The total percent of recommendations accepted was 35% (159,795 out of 455,898). The rate of acceptance was highest for safety interventions (51%), followed by cost (35%), adherence (12%), and guidelines (8%). The acceptance rates for the four intervention types were statistically different from each other (p-value |
