=PDMP Initiative Charter=

Challenge Statement
Providers and dispensers need prescription drug history information to improve clinical decision making, and are not receiving the data they need from Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) in a timely fashion. From the local to the national level, there has never been a greater time of action centered around PDMPs and their value, with Health IT as the critical link to connect prescribers and dispenssers with the valuable data available via PDMPs. With increasing numbers of projects, both competing and complimentary, centered on PDMPs and Health IT connectivity, an ecosystem is rapidly emerging and evolving. A governing set of standards must be established to enable stewardship of the enormous potential of a concerted effort to rein in the terrible effects of prescription drug overdose and abuse nationwide.

Purpose and Goals
This project aims to use health IT to increase timely access to Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) data in an effort to reduce prescription drug misuse and overdose in the United States. The purpose is to
 * 1) Identify existing interfaces that can ingest PDMP data and to understand them in greater detail.
 * 2) Catalog and understand the data format(s) that can be ingested.
 * 3) Catalog and understand the transport protocol(s) systems support.
 * 4) Catalog and understand the security protocol(s) systems support.

Scope Statement
To reduce prescription drug misuse and overdose in the United States at the point of prescribing or dispensing, by
 * Connecting PDMPs to EHRs and HIEs using existing standards and technologies
 * Improving timely and accurate access to PDMP data for the prescriber
 * Establishing standards for facilitating information exchange between prescribers and PDMPs

Value Statement

 * The objective is to solicit feedback from the Health IT community on how PDMP data should be made available for consumption by EHRs/HIEs.
 * The feedback received will influence data format, application programmatic interface, and transport protocol for interfaces for extracting data from PDMP instances.
 * The outcome will be a specification describing the data interface for extracting prescription information from a PDMP instance for use by Health IT systems.

Potential Standards for Consideration

 * What existing interfaces (data format, application programmatic interface, transport protocol) does your system make available to ingest electronic health record data? What type of data do these existing interfaces support?
 * Does your system provide support for C32? CCD? CCDA? What else?
 * Does your system have existing interfaces that can ingest PDMP data?
 * How would you prefer to receive PDMP data?
 * The Phase1 workgroup recommendation was to adopt NIEM-PMP? What might this mean to you?

Potential Risks

 * Risk: If data is intercepted en route between a PDMP and a prescriber, patient confidentiality may be compromised.
 * Mitigation: Employ secure protocols, such as RHEx and SSL, to encrypt and protect data in transit and prevent unauthorized disclosure.
