4. Data are first, middle and last steps in any prevention initiative • First step: • Accurately document the magnitude of the problem • Identify • Factors associated with the problem • Groups at increased risk • Middle step: • Plan prevention programs • Allocate resources • Last step: • Evaluate the effectiveness of the initiative

5. Secretary’s charge • Develop a methodology for reporting on unintentional drug intoxication deaths occurring in Maryland • Prepare a comprehensive report on trends in drug intoxication deaths at the county level • Develop a methodology for monitoring drug intoxication deaths on an ongoing basis

23. Overdose Fatality Review (OFR) & CDS Emergency Preparedness Plan Lisa Hadley, MD Medical Director Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration & Mental Hygiene Administration

24. Overdose Fatality Review (OFR)

25. OFR Purpose • Improve access to overdose-related data from multiple sources at the state and local level • Assist identification of factors that cause/are correlated with drug & alcohol overdose • Improve interagency planning/coordination and support prevention strategy development & implementation

26. OFR Structure • Model: State Child Fatality Review (H-G § 5-702) • State Overdose Advisory Council (SOAC) • Local Overdose Fatality Review Teams (LOFRT) • SOAC & LOFRTs: “medical review committee” (H-O § 1-401) under DHMH Secretary/LHDs • Confidential proceedings

27. State Overdose Advisory Council • DHMH & other state agencies, healthcare providers, academic centers, LHDs, law enforcement • Coordinate access to state data sources & disclosure to LOFRTs • Review LOFRT reports & analyze statewide overdose trends • Review jurisdictional/regional prevention plans & advise on implementation

28. Local Overdose Fatality Review Teams • Multidisciplinary/multi-agency composition • Suggested membership includes: • LHD • Behavioral health providers • Emergency medicine/hospital • Primary care & pain mgmt. • Pharmacy • Social services • Law enforcement

29. Local Overdose Fatality Review Teams • Pool & analyze overdose decedent data from state & local sources • Determine overdose contributing factors • Provide SOAC with standardized reports • Make recommendations to state and local stakeholder organizations for systems change and improvements to prevention plans

30. OFR Pilot Implementation • Identify pilot jurisdictions/regions • ADAA provides pilot sites with template implementation documents • Establish pilot LOFRTs • LOFRTs provide recommendations to SOAC to create pathway for full implementation

31. Controlled Dangerous Substance (CDS) Emergency Preparedness Plan

32. Background • 2011: Eastern Shore pain management clinic with 1000-2000 patients closed abruptly due to physician license suspension • Other possible examples of sudden disruption of CDS prescribing/dispensing: • Sudden death or disability of prescriber • Closure of methadone clinic • Natural disaster

33. Background Ctd. • Public health & safety fallout: • Practice non-responsive to patient records requests • Stigma inhibits transfer to new providers • Patients at hospital emergency dept. and LHD • Pharmacy robberies • Ongoing problems with patient access to legitimate pain management

34. ADAA MOU w/ UMB School of Pharmacy • Develop plan to respond to local public health emergencies created by sudden cessation of CDS prescribing/dispensing • Create practitioner education/training tools • Maintain network of trained practitioners on-call for emergency deployment • Implement rapid response to screen & triage patients when incident occurs

35. Efforts to Address Rx Abuse: Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, Controlled Dangerous Substance Integration Unit & Medicaid “Lock-In” Michael Baier PDMP Coordinator Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration

37. Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP)

38. PDMP Public Health Objectives • Give healthcare providers real-time access to patient controlled substance Rx history at the point-of-care to: • Identify “doctor shopping,” indicating Rx abuse or diversion • Intervene with Rx abusing patients => treatment referral • Increase provider awareness of and ability to deal with substance use disorders • Improve provider ability to manage pain effectively • Increase confidence in prescribing decisions

39. What is the PDMP? • Electronic monitoring of prescribing and dispensing of Schedules II-V CDS (including opioids, benzos, psycho-stimulants, etc.) • Create comprehensive CDS Rx database • Make Rx data available to: • Prescribers • Dispensers • Health Professional Licensing Boards • Law Enforcement • Units of DHMH (OCME, Medicaid, OIG, OHCQ) • Researchers • Patients

41. How Will the PDMP Work? • For each CDS Rx dispensed, dispenser (including pharmacies & dispensing practitioners) must report identifying information for: • Patient for whom drug is prescribed (name, gender, address, DOB, etc.) • Prescriber (DEA #) • Dispenser (DEA #) • Drug (NDC, quantity, dose amount, days supply, etc.)

42. Who Can Request Data? • Prescribers (in connection with care of patient) • Dispensers (in connection with dispensing request) • Law Enforcement (subpoena required) • Licensing Boards (administrative subpoena required) • Patient (may include parent/guardian for minors) • Units of DHMH (existing investigation required) • Other states’ PDMPs (if authorized and employing confidentiality, security and access standards at least as stringent as MD’s PDMP) • Researchers (de-identified data only)

43. MD PDMP Facts • Legislation, 2011: Health-General § 21-2A • Regulations, 2013: COMAR 10.47.07 • Under DHMH, housed in ADAA • Program IT: Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP)

44. CRISP Background • 2007: designated statewide health information exchange (HIE) • Received $20+ million in state and federal funding to implement HIE • Current connectivity with all 46 acute care hospitals in state

45. Benefits of PDMP/HIE Integration • Prescribers: • Single point of access to PDMP data and patient info available through HIE for clinical end users • Single set of log-in credentials for PDMP & HIE • Everyone: • Improved accuracy of unique patient identification • Synergy in recruiting, registering & training users • Sustainability: well-established public-private partnership

46. Implementation Timeline • CRISP RFP: 12/2012 – 3/2013 • Implementation begins: April • Dispenser reporting begins: est. July – August • Non-clinical user registration: begins August – Sept. • Clinical user registration (thru HIE): begins Oct. – Nov.

47. Controlled Dangerous Substance Integration Unit (CDSIU)

48. CDSIU Design • DHMH “fusion center” for info on CDS prescribing, dispensing & use • Personnel from DHMH agencies & licensing boards that conduct investigations • Established as a “medical review committee” by DHMH Secretary

49. CDSIU Goals • Break down barriers to information sharing between DHMH agencies and licensing boards • Replace ad hoc cooperation on investigations & enforcement/disciplinary actions with systematic coordination & planning • Early identification/intervention problematic CDS Rx • Coordinate with local health departments & treatment providers to minimize public health impact of regulatory/enforcement actions

50. CDSIU Membership • Dep. Secs. Public Health & Behavioral Health • DHMH Chief Medical Officer • Alcohol & Drug Abuse Administration • Division of Drug Control/Laboratories Administration • Maryland Medicaid • Office of the Inspector General • Office of the Attorney General • Office of the Chief Medical Examiner • Office of Health Care Quality • Boards of Physicians, Pharmacy, Nursing, Dentistry
