Abstract
The implementation system described in this article is a customizable blueprint for delivery of comprehensive medication management (CMM) and other medication optimization services. This system is the result of merging implementation science expertise with lessons learned from the parent study, the “CMM in Primary Care” grant. This system is comprised of a number of components, including implementation steps and strategies (ie, activities, practical resources such as assessments and informational materials, and learning supports). While these components are integral to any implementation effort, this project describes their unique operationalization for delivery of CMM in a primary care context. Application of this system is illustrated through an example focused on improving the delivery of CMM by pharmacist-led teams in primary care settings.
