National Opioid Addiction and Overdose Epidemic
Number of opioid-analgesic poisoning deaths,by involvement of benzodiazepines: United States, 1999-2011
In 2011,benzodiazepineswere involved in31% of opioid-analgesicpoisoning deaths,up from 13% ofsuch deaths in1999.

Prescription Drug MonitoringProgram (PDMP)
• National overdose epidemic driven largely by Rxopioid misuse and availability of opioids
• Recent increases in heroin use & overdoseaccompanying elevated prevalence of Rx opioidmisuse in Maryland
• PDMPs are important tool for preventing, identifyingand intervening with opioid addiction and diversion

• Secure, state-wide, electronic database
• Contains dispensing of Schedule II-V pharmaceuticalcontrolled dangerous substances (CDS)
• Rx data can be disclosed for clinical, investigative andresearch/public education purposes as allowed by law
• Administered by Department of Health and MentalHygiene, Behavioral Health Administration, Office ofOverdose Prevention
What is the Maryland PDMP?
• Assist medical, pharmacy and public health professionals inthe identification and prevention of prescription drug abuse
• Assist law enforcement and regulatory agencies in theidentification and investigation of illegal prescription drugdiversion
• Promote a balanced use of prescription data that preservesthe professional practice of healthcare providers andlegitimate patient access to optimal pharmaceutical-assistedcare.
PDMP Goals
3/31/2017
5
• Give healthcare providers real-time access at thepoint-of-care to patient CDS Rx history to:
PDMP as a Clinical Tool
• Improve patient-provider communication tooptimize patient care
• Initiate referral to appropriate assessment,treatment & recovery services
• Initiate referral to specialty care, like painmanagement
• Increase confidence in prescribing/dispensingdecisions
• Identify aberrant drug use (i.e. “doctor/pharmacyshopping”) indicating possible misuse ordiversion
• Ohio ED Study1:
– 41% who reviewed PDMP data altered prescribing for patientsreceiving multiple simultaneous narcotics prescriptions.
– Of these, 61% prescribed no narcotics or fewer narcotics thanoriginally planned, while 39% prescribed more.
• Prescriber survey in RI / CT2:
– PDMP users more likely than non-users to take clinicallyappropriate action in response to suspected cases ofprescription drug abuse or diversion
– Actions included, but not limited to, conducting drug screens orreferring patients for substance use disorder treatment /recovery services

• Investigators only submit one subpoena for all PDMPrecords instead of subpoenas for multiple pharmacies’records
• Patient, prescriber or dispenser specific reports
• Data reports for all CDS prescriptions dispensed inMaryland over period of time

Caution in Interpreting PDMP Data
● Prescription information is reported to the PDMP by a dispensing pharmacy or
practitioner; it does not serve as the official record of a dispensing
● PDMP staff and vendors make all efforts to ensure data are complete and accurate,
reports may contain omissions or errors
● If you or your patient has concerns about possible data inaccuracies:
● Contact the dispenser to verify whether the prescription information was reported
to the PDMP accurately (The original prescription retained by the dispenser
serves as the official record)
● If an error is confirmed by the dispenser, please contact the PDMP administrator
at DHMH by email at dhmh.pdmp@maryland.gov or call 410-402-8686
When You Find Something in the PDMP
Talk to your patient about appropriate medical care and management
Talk to other providers treating and/or prescribing/dispensing to patient
Screen for substance use disorders (SBIRT)
Consult existing guidelines on safe prescribing for acute or chronic pain
Consider referring patient to pain management specialist
Consider referring patient to substance use disorder treatment facility orspecialist
Consider prescribing naloxone to patients known to be taking opioids

– Healthcare practitioners authorized to prescribe CDS
– May access PDMP data in connection with the medical care of apatient
• Pharmacist:
– Pharmacists that are licensed to dispense CDS in/into Maryland
– May access PDMP data in connection with the dispensing of aCDS medication
– Clinical access to PDMP data is for treatment purposes,independent of the requirement for dispensers to report datato the PDMP

Delegate Clinical Users
• PDMP-registered CDS prescribers and pharmacists may authorize staff toobtain CRISP user accounts and query PDMP data on their behalf.
• Prescriber Delegate
• Pharmacist Delegate
• Delegates may access PDMP data on behalf of a delegating Prescriber orPharmacist
• Primary goal is to integrate PDMP data review into existing clinicalworkflow
Delegates may include (Pharmacist / Presriber authorized):
• licensed practitioners without prescriptive authority
• non-licensed clinical staff that are employed by, or undercontract with, the same professional practice or facilitywhere the prescriber or pharmacist practices **NEW**
