St. Louis County Department of Public Health is excited to share the opportunity of mass registration for the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP)! Currently, each individual healthcare provider must register for access to the PDMP. Mass registration will allow a health system/hospital/medical group/healthcare practice to register any/all of their healthcare providers. This assists the health system in ensuring all providers have access to the PDMP and removes the burden of registration from healthcare providers. Additional details are attached as well as the registration template file for health systems to complete. We’d be happy to answer any questions or go over this process in more detail; please contact [email protected] or 314-615-0522.
Also attached are our 2018-2019 PDMP priorities. These are activities we plan to initiate in 2018, and some will be one-time and some ongoing. This list is not exhaustive but includes things we have committed to doing in the next year. With efforts focused on increasing provider utilization, mass registration is the first of many activities aimed to increase utilization of the PDMP by healthcare providers.
St. Louis County Prescription Drug Monitoring Program
- The St. Louis County Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) monitors the prescribing and dispensing of schedule II-IV controlled substances to assist in the identification and prevention of prescription drug misuse and abuse.
- The program’s goals are to 1) improve controlled substance prescribing by providing critical information regarding a patient’s controlled substance prescription history, 2) inform clinical practice by identifying patients at high-risk who would benefit from early interventions, and 3) reduce the number of people who misuse, abuse, or overdose while making sure patients have access to safe, effective treatment.
- As of February 2018, there are 58 jurisdictions participating in the PDMP. These 58 jurisdictions cover 79% of the state population and 92% of healthcare providers. A complete list of participating jurisdictions can be found at www.stlouisco.com/PDMP.
o Participating in the PDMP means a jurisdiction has enacted PDMP legislation and signed a User Agreement with St. Louis County. Enacted legislation requires pharmacies submit dispensation information that is then made available to healthcare providers through the PDMP.
PDMP Mass Registration - St. Louis County PDMP is offering the opportunity for a health system, hospital, medical group, or healthcare practice to bulk register their healthcare providers in the PDMP. There is no limit on the number of providers that can be registered as part of mass registration and no minimum number of providers to register in order to participate.
- Currently, each individual healthcare provider must register for access to the PDMP. Mass registration will allow the health system to register any/all of their healthcare providers. This assists the health system in ensuring all providers have access to the PDMP and removes the burden of registration from healthcare providers.
- Mass registration is offered at no cost to the health system and is a one-time opportunity.
Mass Registration Process & Timeline - Each type of healthcare provider (user role) requires different information, and the attached registration template file has a tab for each user role. Each column represents a required field, and one row is to be filled out per user.
- Health systems have until April 20, 2018, to send the completed registration file back to the St. Louis County PDMP. The completed registration file is to be sent SECURELY to [email protected]. As the file contains personal and professional information, secure email transmission is required. For assistance with secure email transmission, please contact [email protected].
- By April 27, 2018, the St. Louis County PDMP will review and collate registration files from all health systems and send the completed files securely to Appriss (PDMP vendor).
- Appriss will create PDMP accounts for all users from April 27-May 15, 2018.
- St. Louis County will review and approve all user accounts from April 27-June 30, 2018.
- All full/supervisory users registered as part of mass registration will have approved accounts by June 30, 2018.
