PDMP & Health IT Integration
All-Hands Meeting November 26th, 2013
Meeting Etiquette• Remember: If you are not speaking keep your
phone on mute• Do not put your phone on hold – if you need to
take a call, hang up and dial in again when finished with your other call– Hold = Elevator Music = very frustrated speakers and
participants
• This meeting, like all of our meeting is being recorded– Another reason to keep your phone on mute when not
speaking
• Feel free to use the “Chat” feature for questions, comments or any items you would like the moderator or participants to know.
NOTE: This meeting is being recorded and will be posted on the Meeting Artifacts Wiki page after
the meeting
From S&I Framework to Participants:Hi everyone: remember to keep your phone on mute

We are Here
PDMP & Health IT Project Charter
Background…• Prescription drug misuse and overdose is one of the fastest
growing health epidemics in the United States. One of the most promising clinical tools to address prescription drug abuse are prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs). PDMPs are state-run electronic databases – functioning in 48 U.S. states and territories – that track the prescribing and dispensing of controlled prescription drugs to patients.
• Information within PDMPs is intended to enhance providers’ understanding of their patients’ controlled substance history. When available at the point of care and point of dispensing, PDMP information can help prescribers and dispensers discern between patients who may need a controlled substance for legitimate medical treatment and those who may be seeking to misuse prescription drugs. It also provides an opportunity to intervene if there are signs of misuse and abuse.

PDMP & Health IT Project Charter
Background continued
• While PDMPs collect a considerable amount of important clinical data which prescribers and pharmacists see as a valuable clinical decision support tool, they often do not use PDMPs because they are “stand alone” systems which are cumbersome and time consuming to access.
• Currently, most prescribers and dispensers must either interrupt their workflow and log on to a separate system to access the PDMP or write/dispense prescriptions without consulting the PDMP - potentially leaving providers without the information needed to make important clinical decisions.
• One way to improve PDMP access is it to incorporate it as part of the normal clinical workflow. Health IT systems (e.g., EHRs, HIEs, and pharmacy systems) can accomplish this by querying PDMPs for prescription information and presenting this information to prescribers and dispensers when they access an electronic medical record or pharmacy.
9
PDMP & Health IT Project Charter
Challenge• While there are data exchange standards in place to share information between
PDMPs and standards to exchange information between EHRs and a Pharmacy there are no widely adopted standards for the exchange of data between an EHR and a PDMP. As PDMP systems have evolved outside the health IT ecosystem, significant barriers to interoperability have resulted.
• Current technical barriers to interoperability:– Lack of standard methods to exchange and integrate the prescription drug
data available in PDMPs into health IT systems. – Lack of common technical standards and vocabularies to enable PDMPs to
share computable information with the EHR that providers can use to support clinical decision-making.
– Currently there is no standard set of data elements collected by states.
• To achieve interoperability, consistent and standardized electronic methods need to be established to enable seamless and secure data transmission between PDMPs and health IT systems.
10
PDMP & Health IT Integration – Project Charter
Purpose & Goals• The purpose of this initiative is to bring together the PDMP and health IT
communities to standardize the data format, and transport and security protocols to exchange patient controlled substance history information between PDMPs and health IT systems (i.e., EHRs/HIEs/Pharmacy Systems). Doing so would enable health care providers to make more informed clinical decisions through timely and convenient access to PDMP data in an effort to reduce prescription drug misuse and overdose in the United States.
• The specific goals are:
– Identify existing stakeholders and methodologies for accessing PDMP data (how they access this will help with pilots)
– Identify, evaluate, and harmonize the data format(s) sent from PDMPs to EHRs/HIEs.
– Evaluate and select transport protocol(s) systems support.– Evaluate and select security protocol(s) systems support.– Map selected health IT standards to standards already in use for PDMP-to-
PDMP interstate exchange.
11
PDMP & Health IT Integration – Project Charter
Scope Statement• To allow system integrations that arms providers with PDMP data as part of their
normal clinical workflow by:– Connecting PDMPs to health IT systems (e.g. EHRs and HIEs, and pharmacy
Systems) using existing standards;– If standards do not exist, establishing standards for facilitating information
exchange between PDMPs and health care providers; and– Improving timely and convenient access to PDMP data by health care
providers.• Out of Scope
– Defining method for how the PDMP is contacted or initiated by provider (e.g., hyperlink while ordering, pressing a button, automatic trigger, etc.); and Addressing delegation of rights to individuals not legally authorized to prescribe medications – this is an implementation specific decision – this may vary by implementation and pilot sites.
– PDMP to PDMP transactions– Third party access this is an implementation specific decision – this may
vary by implementation and pilot sites
12
PDMP & Health IT Integration – Project Charter
Value Statement• The feedback received from health IT community on
interoperability between PDMP and EHRs will influence data format, application programmatic interface, and transport protocol for interfaces for extracting data from PDMP instances;
• The outcome will be a specification describing the data interface for extracting prescription information from a PDMP instance for use by health IT systems; and
• The ability for prescribers and dispensers to access prescription drug data for patients at the point of care to make informed decisions to reduce prescription drug misuse and overdose

Potential Standards for Consideration
• The below standards are a starting list for consideration and will be updated based on community feedback during Charter discussions and as use case requirements are further fleshed out and we begin the harmonization process.
• This is not a full list of all possible standards.– Content and Structure: C32, CDA R2, FHIR, HL7 V.2.X, XML– Transport and Security: NCPDP SCRIPT, hData, SOAP, ASAP
Webservices, XDR and XDM (Direct) *– Other: NIEM IEPD, PMIX– Other references: NarxCheck, OpenSearch, Rcopia, RHEx, RPC,
Surescript, Zero Report Standard (by ASAP)– Vocabulary Standards: RxNorm
14
* Security and Transport standards will be dependent on the architecture/environment considerations
PDMP & Health IT Integration – Project Charter
Potential Risks• Risk: If data is intercepted en route between a PDMP and a
prescriber, patient confidentiality may be compromised.– Mitigation: Employ secure protocols to encrypt and protect
data in transit and prevent unauthorized disclosure.• Unintended access to data not requested by the prescribers• Patient mismatch• Financial challenges of a new standards requirement• accepted time for data download – currency of the data has
impact on use of data
15
This is not a comprehensive list of risks – it is meant to identify the most immediate risks and to acknowledge those things which require further consideration and thought as we work through the PDMP and HIT initiative
