Conceptual Framework for pMTM Intervention. This protocol is conceptualized based on the SHED-MEDS model of deprescribing [60]. With permission, we modified this model with the broader core activity of pMTM, during which parents and providers review medication changes, continuation, proper use, monitoring, and follow-up. For children with polypharmacy, our model specifies that the pMTM intervention (which accounts for and prioritizes safety, quality of life, and parental considerations) will lead to patient-centered optimization of medications, resulting in improved health and symptoms manifest as fewer MRPs [4, 12, 30].
