MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Benefits & Impact of InterConnected Data

The effective collection and sharing of data have been a cornerstone of mitigating the extent of the opioid epidemic.

Through a robust national network of PDMPs, healthcare providers, and pharmacies, PMP Gateway® and PMP InterConnect® allow for the exchange of critical information and insights to promote patient safety and assist in combating the opioid crisis.

PREVENTING DOCTOR SHOPPING

Powerful Patient Reports

Delivering the right data to practitioners at the point of care can prevent instances of multiple provide episodes such as “doctor shopping” (obtaining overlapping or duplicate prescriptions from multiple clinicians) or “pharmacy shopping” (filling a prescription at multiple pharmacies). 

Dispensation rate tracking
Narcotics overlap reporting
High risk script alerts
Number of pharmacies where prescriptions were filled

    CASE STUDY

    PRISMA HEALTH

    The Challenge

    South Carolina mandates prescribers to query SCRIPTS, the state’s prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) before writing or continuing a prescription for a controlled substance. South Carolina has been consistently among the 10 states with the highest opioid-related death rates. Recently, the state’s providers wrote 60.4 opioid prescriptions for every 100 persons, compared to the U.S. average of 46.7 prescriptions for every 100 persons.

    The Solution

    Prisma Health partnered with Bamboo Health to provide over 1,000 clinicians with access to SCRIPTS through EHR workflow using PMP Gateway. PMP Gateway makes accessing data and analytics easy by integrating it directly in the clinical workflows of major EHRs. This interoperability allows clinicians to retrieve patients’ prescription histories in seconds and spend more face-to-face time with their patients.

    Time
    Savings

    With the PDMP-EHR integration, physicians avoid the tedious process of exiting the EHR, logging into the PDMP and running a query.

    Boosted
    Confidence

    Physicians can also confidently prescribe knowing that a patient’s PDMP history has been consolidated with other state PDMP data for that patient where the states have agreed to share the data.

    Better Communication

    They can better communicate with insurance companies when they review the of pain medication prescribed.
