The aims of this paper are to provide an overview of how CDTM legislation has advanced during the past decade; its role in enabling the provision of CMM, the standard for direct patient care provided by clinical pharmacists; the potential impact of new models of care on CDTM and CMM; and the implications of the foregoing for future clinical pharmacist participation in patient-centered health care (https://www.accp.com/docs/positions/whitePapers/CDTM%20CMM%202015%20Final.pdf)

    Philosophy of practice is the foundation of any patient care practice because it provides a set of professional values and beliefs that guide actions and decisions in practice. Study objectives were to understand how pharmacists providing comprehensive medication management (CMM) describe their philosophy of practice and compare how participants' philosophies align with predefined tenets of a CMM philosophy of practice.
