Lessons learned from implementation of a pharmacist-delivered medication therapy management intervention in primary care can inform future studies and be adopted into real-world clinical settings.

A framework for the role of pharmaceuticals in value-based healthcare, practical examples from organizations that have made the transition, and implementation considerations.
