Collaborative Drug Therapy Management

Collaborative Drug Therapy Management (CDTM) is a partnership between pharmacists and physicians to optimize a patient’s medication use. Under agreed protocols, pharmacists can adjust, start, or stop medications, monitor effectiveness, and provide ongoing advice, ensuring safe and effective treatment. This collaboration helps improve health outcomes, especially for chronic conditions, by making medication management more accessible and tailored to the patient’s needs. It enhances communication between healthcare providers, streamlines care, and ensures that medication therapy is monitored closely for safety and effectiveness.
