Conclusions
Drug overdose epidemic driven by overdoses of prescrip?on opioids, oPen combined with benzodiazepines and/or muscle relaxants Opioid overdose rates parallel prescrip?on rates
Steady increase in opioid prescribing rate since 1999 has finally leveled off Abuse-‐resistant formula?on, scheduling change appear to be associated with largest declines in certain drugs
Overall declines alone likely too small to reduce prescrip?on overdose mortality aPer 2010

PMP: Background • Historically , seen as a law enforcement tool:
– To iden7fy pa7ents and prescribers engaged in possible aberrant behavior – To iden7fy “doctor shoppers” – To inves7gate drug diversion & fraud
• NYC DOHMH using PMP as a public health surveillance tool: – To iden7fy and describe palerns of opioid analgesic use at pa7ent and prescriber
levels
– To iden7fy pa7ents at risk for fatal and non-‐fatal overdose – To reduce prescrip7on drug misuse and diversion – As a drug epidemic warning system
• NYC DOHMH uses PMP as a pa7ent care tool: – To iden7fy pa7ents with possible substance use disorders – To avoid risky drug Interac7ons – To iden7fy and reduce pa7ent visits to mul7ple prescribers
• PMP not meant to infringe on the legi7mate prescribing of controlled substances
Source: http://www.pmpalliance.org/content/prescription-monitoring-frequently-asked-questions-faq
PMP: public health surveillance tool
• Number of prescrip7ons, pa7ents, prescriber, pharmacies
• Rate of opioid analgesic prescrip7ons filled overall and by drug type
• Median day supply
• Rate of pa7ents filling opioid analgesic prescrip7ons
• Rate of high dose opioid analgesic prescrip7ons filled
PMP surveillance used to inform public health ini?a?ves
• Opioid prescribing guidelines • City Health Informa7on (CHI) – primary care
• Emergency Department guidelines
• Staten Island detailing campaign • Focused on prescribers
• Morphine milligram equivalent calculator
• Media campaign • Public Service Announcement on “prescrip7on painkiller use”
Analy?c methods • Focus on schedule II prescrip7on opioid analgesics (excluding codeine-‐cII)
• Exclude missing pa7ent or prescriber IDs, veterinarians, or ins7tu7onal licenses
• Report rates per 1,000 residents and adjust to 2000 US Standard popula7on
Descrip?ve sta?s?cs
• Demographic characteris7cs of pa7ent (gender, age, residence, payment)
• Prescriber profession, specialty (if available), license loca7on
• Pharmacy loca7on
Prescrip?on variables
• Dura7on of ac7on – Long-‐ac7ng or short-‐ac7ng
• Day supply • Morphine Equivalent Dose (MED)
– Conversion of the daily dose of an opioid analgesic prescrip7on to its morphine milligram equivalent
– High MED, or high dose, prescrip7ons confer increased risks of overdose, specifically when MED ≥ 100.

OA PRESCRIPTION RATES OA MORTALITY RATES
Opioid prescribing guidelines • Less oqen: avoid prescribing opioids for
chronic non-‐cancer, non-‐end-‐of-‐life pain e.g., low back pain, arthri7s, headache,
fibromyalgia • Shorter dura7on: when opioids are
warranted for acute pain, 3-‐day supply usually sufficient
• Lower doses: if dosing reaches 100 Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME) , reassess and reconsider other approaches to pain management
• Avoid whenever possible prescribing opioids in pa7ents taking benzodiazepines Cita7on: Paone D, Dowell D, Heller D. Preven7ng misuse of prescrip7on opioid drugs. City Health Informa7on. 2011; 30(4): 23-‐30

Emergency Department guidelines
Released January, 2013
Adopted by 35 NYC emergency departments
46
Staten Island public health “detailing” campaign
• 1-‐on-‐1 “detailing” visits from Health Department representa7ves
• Deliver key prescribing recommenda7ons, clinical tools, pa7ent educa7on materials
• ~1,000 Staten Island physicians, nurse prac77oners, physicians assistants
• June–August 2013 • PMP data analyzed to evaluate
prescribing palerns pre-‐ and post-‐campaign
47
48
Morphine Milligram Equivalent (MME) calculator
• A tool to calculate total MME per day
• Gives alert for dosages >100 MME • Quick and easy to use • Web-‐based applica7on
– Search for “NYC MME Calculator” hlp://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/mental/MME.html
• Smartphone app
49
50
Media campaigns • Campaign One:
– Goal: Increase awareness of risk of opioid analgesic overdose – Ran twice (2012, 2013)
• Campaign Two: – Goal: Reduce s7gma and raise awareness of opioid analgesic
misuse – 2 tes7monials
• Mom lost son to opioid analgesic overdose • NYC resident in recovery
– Ran 2013 and 2014
51
Summary • PMPs can be used as a public health surveillance tool to understand palerns of opioid analgesic prescrip7on use
• New Yorkers filled ~2 million opioid analgesic prescrip7ons per year from 2008-‐2012
• From 2008-‐2012 Staten Island residents filled high dose prescrip7ons (>100 MED) at highest rates
• High rates of opioid analgesic prescrip7on use mirror high rates of opioid analgesic overdose mortality

Learning Objec7ves
1. PMP's and PDMP's are valuable clinical tool promo7ng improved outcomes.
2. There is a difference between healthcare and enforcement.
How Did We Get Here?
• 1980 prehistoric • 1996 Oxycon7n launched “less poten7al for addic7on and
abuse”, chronic pain pa7ents undertreated. • Non profits funded by opiate pharma manuf. (Am. Pain
Founda7on) • 8/31/2000 FDA approves NDA for Roxicodone 15mg & 30mg • Current Trends:
– 6/3/2011 Fla: HR 7095 an7-‐pill mill legisla7on signed by Gov. Rick Scol
– DEA suspends permits for 2 CVS and 6 Walgreens pharmacies and some independent pharmacies in Fla.
– DEA suspends permits: 3 Cardinal Health distribu7on centers, Walgreen’s, Juniper, Fl., AmerisourceBergen, Orlando, Fl., Harvard Drug Group, Livonia, Mi.
– McKesson pays $13 million in fines for: Fl., Tx., Md., Ut., Co., Ca.
The Strange Down Stream Trends
• Viola7ons everywhere, wholesale distributors: “But how much can we sell?”
• Blind speed limits • Contrac7on in opioid analgesic distribu7on • Some pa7ents struggle to get medica7ons, really?
– 4.8% of worlds popula7on consumes 80% opioid analgesics but significant hitches in supply stream
• Wholesalers using numbers, not encouraging or establishing the use of sound clinical guidelines – Place pharmacist on review team
Unfortunate Reali7es • Growing popula7ons trends for chronic pain pa7ents
– Advanced trauma care leading to more survivors (fortunate reality) – Diabetes explosion CDC 1980-‐2011 2.5 to 6.9% -‐ genera7ng more neuropathies? – Arthri7s rates increasing – Obesity increasing
• As they say in enforcement: “Follow the money” – 2008 recession compounds problem, economic relief in black market
• 60% of diverted medica7ons sourced from friends and family, Get Rx for 120, use 40 divert 80. Difficult to detect.
– Is black market larger than legal market? • #120 oxycodone 15mg @ $60 legal via insurance, black market at $1/mg @$1,800
– Heroin cheap, easy to turn • Prescrip7on opioid analgesics & heroin more valuable than cash
• We cannot enforce our way out • What are liabili7es for not performing due diligence? • Fewer Fellowships offered in pain management, family prac7oners
and GP’s are prescribing – Only a couple of extra pain pa7ents per prescriber add up
• Not my pa7ents
Its busy, What Can I Do? (opportuni7es) • Promote and u7lize PMPs as a tool to achieve posi7ve outcomes
(healthcare term, not enforcement, & not an excuse to dispense!)
• Establish PMP review in workflow, promote states to allow registered technicians and nurses to access data bases
• Reduce liability with due diligence
• Verify pa7ent iden7ty at drop off: government issued, commercial services • Collaborate, let prescribers know around the clock IR meds for pain control
not illegal but frowned upon, decrease # doses on the street, use sound clinical judgment
• Collaborate, perform random medica7on counts for pa7ents exhibi7ng adherent behavior for your prescribers
• Review, review, review clinical risks with pa7ents, par7cularly those who are opiate naive
• Counsel all regarding secure storage, i.e. dental rxs, loaded gun in medicine cabinet analogy
• Ins7tute a treatment agreements, aka narco7c contract
But What Can I Do? Con7nued… (more opportuni7es)
• Market topically compounded analgesics-‐ far lower poten7al for abuse • Partner with adver7zing vendors to include medica7on guide specific for
commonly abused medica7on, i.e. LDM Group, CarePoints (slide) • Increase sensi7za7on: Use social media & poster up, “Who Knew Grandma
Kept a Stash”, Partnership for a Drug Free New Jersey, DEA’s Na7onal Prescrip7on Drug Take Back Day, etc. (slide)
• Partner with teaching ins7tu7ons. Sponsor substance abuse CE + CME’s for health care providers, including pediatricians, den7sts, and oral surgeons (slide)
• Get involved, collaborate, join work groups, encourage community based ac7on, no one group can defeat this scourge alone (slide) – Form local coali7ons, churches, schools, enforcement, civic groups,
etc. • Sponsor a local drop off box for unused medica7ons

Provide Naloxone Rescue Kits (opportunity)
• A lille work results in most significant outcomes alainable
• Develop collabora7ve prac7ce agreements
• Trails already blazed, follow the footsteps – hlp://stopoverdose.org/index.htm – hlp://harmreduc7on.org/
– hlp://prescribetoprevent.org/about-‐us/
Educa7on Opportuni7es: Pharmacy Student and Technician Training
• Establish and teach clinical guidelines for counseling pa7ents to avoid issues associated with controlled medica7ons.
• Encourage training in detec7ng evidence of misuse, substance abuse, addic7on, pseudo addic7on, and diversion in pa7ent popula7ons.
• Amplify the value of PMPs as a clinical tool. • If a palern of abuse is detected, provide outline on how to assist the pa7ent and associated healthcare providers move forward toward posi7ve outcomes. i.e. addic7on services, mental health services, etc.
• Provide protocols on when and how to engage enforcement.
Big Ideas-‐ Opportuni7es to do beler?
• Develop systems for ease of use for busy prac7ces, pharmacies and prescribers alike. Current models D+ – Allow nurses and pharmacy technicians access?
• Reward health care professionals for accessing PMPs. – Direct compensa7on, rebate professional license fees, tax credits?
• Establish and encourage realis7c reimbursements to pharmacies for Medica7on Therapy Management (MTM) reviews for chronic pain pa7ents.
• Develop Accountable Care Organiza7on (ACO) models for how dispensing pharmacies can partner with ACOs & manage chronic pain pa7ents to improve outcomes and subsequently reduce costs.
