Page 4: Maine’s Prescription Monitoring Program Daniel J. Eccher, MPH Project Coordinator Prescription Drug Misuse: A Community Challenge

Overview of Maine’s PMP

Legislation passed in 2003 Data collection began in July of 2004 Data is submitted twice a month from

over 300 pharmacies (both in and out of state)

Scheduled drugs (II, III, and IV) All transactions saved in centralized,

relational database

OSA’s Goals for Maine’s PMP

Improve patient care by giving health care providers comprehensive information

Curb prescription misuse Get those who are addicted into

appropriate treatment

Page 6: Maine’s Prescription Monitoring Program Daniel J. Eccher, MPH Project Coordinator Prescription Drug Misuse: A Community Challenge

OSA’s Goals for Maine’s PMP

Help stop prescription drug overdoses Educate the public on the dangers of

prescription drug misuse Ensure that those who do need

prescription medications still receive them

Page 7: Maine’s Prescription Monitoring Program Daniel J. Eccher, MPH Project Coordinator Prescription Drug Misuse: A Community Challenge

Benefits for Prescribers

Providing better care: Patient Threshold Reports – “red flag” of potential

addiction and/or diversion

PMP: giving clinicians the ability to coordinate care with other prescribers

Health care tool for new patients: allowing a background check on prescriptions of Schedule II, III, and IV drugs prior to a patient’s first appointment Online data access
