Using the MirixaPro℠ Platform to Enhance Patient Lives - “One of the first Medication Therapy Management patients that I educated through using the MirixaPro℠ platform had many of the typical ‘polypharmacy’ issues.

- Read Justin’s story about a profound MTM encounter that helped his patient adhere to their medication regimen.
- “I have been using the MirixaPro℠ platform for multiple years and find it is a great tool for documenting my Medication Therapy Management (MTM) interventions. In 2008, I was privileged to provide many MTM services and have helped numerous pharmacists learn the system, bringing MTM into their practice. The program identifies patients for you, has an initial drug list to work with, and calls your attention to safety issues as well as cost-saving opportunities. I find it a very effective format for helping my patients achieve greater outcomes with their medications. I have also found the staff at Mirixa to be wonderful to work with, listening to many of our suggestions to make the program friendlier for pharmacists and also growing the program into a strong template for achieving positive patient outcomes.” —LeAnn Causey Boyd, Pharm.D., BCPS, CDE, Director of Clinical Services, Causey's Pharmacy
Impacting Patients through Medication Therapy Management - After a particulary helpful MTM session with a patient, Jana Bennet reports, "My patient is a completely different person. When she comes into my pharmacy now, she looks at me as a trusted friend rather than her pharmacist. Through MTM, it only took a short amount of time to determine a solution to her problem that no one else was helping to solve for her. As a result, she’ll always be my patient now – there’s no chance she’ll go anywhere else.”—Jana Bennett, RPh Medicine Shoppe®

- “It’s helpful to find staff members who are passionate about MTM and patient counseling. From my experience, I’ve learned that recent pharmacy graduates are a great option. They generally have a passion for helping patients, as well as the clinical side of pharmacy fresh in their minds.”—Dirk Andrepont, RPh Medicine Shoppe®
- Learn how Dirk utilized support staff to assist with MTM
- "Not only have I empowered patients on issues pertinent to their health by educating them during their Medication Therapy Management service, but also I've earned their respect as a pharmacist and medication specialist. The need for MTM is much larger than most patients and most health care providers, even many pharmacists, can comprehend. There is always a lesson to be learned in an MTM session. In many cases, there is more to be learned than can be taught in one session."—Lisa Adams Padgett, PharmD, Kerr Drug
