AB MTM  currently  represents  yet  another  information  silo  that  may  have  adverse  effects  on  therapeutic  outcomes  and  professional  relationships.Barriers  to  pharmacist  documentation  are  related  to  culture,  workflow,  and  job  descriptions.The  Medicare  Part  D  MTM  program  standardized  format  describes  the  content  and  format  required  for  personal  medication  lists  and  medication  action  plans.The  personal  medication  list,  medication  action  plan,  and  physician  letter  do  not  meet  the  criteria  for  complete  documentation  of  the  MTM  encounter.The  care  plan  is  a  necessary  part  of  comprehensive  documentation  of  an  MTM  encounter.Medicare  is  encouraging  the  interoperability  of  MTM  software  and  the  electronic  health  record  (EHR)  as  well  as  patient  access  to  health  information.Risk  management  rules  and  risk  awareness  are  important  for  documentation  and  using  all  health  information  technology,  eg,  email,  EHR,  mobile  technology,  and  social  media.MTM  documentation  must  be  written  in  a  way  that  is  engaging,  holds  attention,  facilitates  understanding,  and  encourages  appropriate  actions.
