title: Benefits of medication therapy management in trauma care.
abstract: Recently, medication therapy management has gained significant momentum, which has largely been fueled the desire to optimize patients' medication treatment. The implementation of medication therapy management is proving to be increasingly important in trauma care because of a myriad of issues whether cognitive, mental, or physical that can be experienced by this patient population. The involvement of a clinical pharmacist has the potential to improve therapeutic and health care outcomes through the use of medication therapy management.
