AB Physician  perspectives  on  medication  therapy  management  (MTM)  will  vary  widely.Many  physicians,  dealing  with  increasing  regulations  and  paperwork,  likely  will  see  MTM  as  simply  more  paperwork.Physicians  are  faced  with  eroding  autonomy,  increasing  administrative  burdens,  medical  group  and  hospital  consolidation,  onslaughts  of  new  patients,  and  implementation  of  the  Patient  Protection  and  Affordable  Care  Act.MTM  will  be  resisted  by  physicians  to  the  degree  that  it  is  perceived  as  increasing  administrative  burdens.MTM  has  the  potential  to  help  with  transformational  changes  in  healthcare,  such  as  the  patient-centered  medical  home  and  continuity  of  care.Real-time  interactions  between  prescribers  and  pharmacists  at  the  time  of  the  patient  encounter  would  undoubtedly  improve  patient  care.
