Nicole J. Brandt, PharmD, MBA, BCGP, BCPP, FASCP, Executive Director, The Peter Lamy Center on Drug Therapy and Aging, and Professor, Pharmacy Practice and Science University of Maryland School of Pharmacy.  Co-design is one of the essential tools in human-centered design (HCD) and involves the patients in the design process and works with them to understand their met and unmet needs. Dr. Brandt presents the recent results of the largest national survey of Medicare Part D beneficiaries and their caregivers regarding the existing CMS MTM Standardized formats. Findings from this research have implications when providing patient centered medication related care plans and the changes needed for the future.
