Medication therapy management (MTM) providers should work with patients to incorporate a strategy for smoking cessation into the medication action plan.Adherence to pharmacotherapy is key in reaching treatment goals, and guidelines for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease emphasize the importance of routine assessment and discussion of the therapeutic regimen with patients. Through provision of MTM, MTM providers can assist patients and other providers in improving treatment and achieving therapeutic goals.
