2008 International Symposium on Pharmaceuticals in the Home PMP/TDS Update Debra Brucker, M.P.A., Ph.D. Daniel Eccher, M.P.H. Maine Office of Substance Abuse
PMP Overview • Data collection began July 1, 2004 • Data submitted by over 300 pharmacies in and out of state • DEA Schedules II, III, and IV • Patient-specific data directly accessible to a select few people (e.g., physicians) • Intent: health care tool for reducing accessibility of controlled substances for non-medical use
PMP Limitations • Accuracy and completeness of data up to pharmacies • Many new data submitters came online in 2008 • No unique identifiers; no legal ID requirement • Prescriptions written for various time periods and quantities – best way to analyze unknown
Treatment Data System (TDS) • Data submitted to OSA by substance abuse treatment providers throughout Maine • Government-funded programs required • Some privately funded programs voluntarily submit • Monthly checks on accuracy and completeness of data • Comprehensive picture of SA treatment in Maine
