Linking PDMP Data
Jason Hoppe, DO
Department of Emergency Medicine
University of Colorado SOM
Disclosures
• Dr. Hoppe has no relevant, real, or apparent
personal or professional financial relationships
with proprietary entities that produce health
care goods and services
• Dr. Hoppe is supported by a Harold Rogers BJA
grant for PDMP research partnership via the
Colorado Division of Regulatory Agencies but
this presentation does not reflect the opinions
of either entity
Benefits of linking data
• Maximize possible benefit to public health by
translating research findings to clinical practice
– Enhance patient safety and individual
healthcare experiences
– Expand knowledge about diseases and
treatments
– Strengthen healthcare system efficiency and
effectiveness
– Help businesses meet customer needs
Benefits continued
• Evaluate the true value of PDMPs and the
impact of PDMP interventions
• Help evaluate causation/cause-effect
relationship identify modifiable causes
• Evaluate prescribing decisions across multiple
providers, settings and care organizations
• Improve interpretation of PDMP data, risk
factors improve decision-making
Investigator data needs
• No identifiable data!
• Clinical data
– Diagnosis, visits/discharges, meds, risk factors,
imaging, past med/social history, drug screens
• PDMP data
– Patient: Past/future medication use, overlaps, co-
prescribing, MME, # of providers/pharm/Rx/$$$
– Prescriber: # Rx, doses/trends in dosing, co-
prescribing, comparison to peer group
• Time periods (not dates)
• Outcomes (clinical and/or PDMP)
Barriers for PDMP studies
• Informed consent not realistic or efficient
• Impractical/impossible to re-contact research
subjects
• Even if possible, final group may not represent
intended group
• Need to have reliable, de-identified data sets
– Data sets in separate places, correct matching
– Waiver of informed consent
Barriers continued
• Statutory authority of governing body
– Interpretation of law
• Hospital and state are legally separate entities
– PDMP vendor may be third entity
• Multiple data use agreements (DUA)
• Payment mechanism
• Resources
– Little incentive to invest in infrastructure to support
research, not the mission of state or PDMP vendor
Current mechanisms to link data
• PDMP pulls data
• Vendor pulls data
• Researcher pulls data
• Department of public health
• Considerations: DUAs, resources, cost, time,
PHI protection, data transfer, data accuracy
Ideal mechanism for linkage
• Collaborative relationships
• Within confines of state laws
– Legal and regulatory safeguards in place
• Timely
• Cost effective
• Reproducible
• Reasonably assures de-identification
• Automated data transfer
Ideal mechanism “A”
• Approved investigator requests clinical data
for IRB approved study
• Verified suitability
• Identifies pts and obtains pt info
• Accuracy assessed
• De-identifies data set
• De-identified data set back to investigator

between protecting personal health data and clinical research efficiency.
PeerJ 3:e1506; DOI 10.7717/peerj.1506
Ideal mechanism “B”
• Request clinical or public health data for IRB
approved study
• Verified suitability
• Identifies pts and obtains pt info
• Public health data linked to appropriate pt
• Accuracy assessed
• De-identifies data set
• Merged, de-identified data set back to
investigator

between protecting personal health data and clinical research efficiency.
PeerJ 3:e1506; DOI 10.7717/peerj.1506
Honest broker
• Layer of protection; HIPAA safe harbor
• Individual, organization or system acting as a
neutral intermediary to collect/supply data to
approved requestors in a way in which it is not
reasonably possible to identify participants
• Firewall between investigator and identifiable
information
• Independent of the research team
Linking PDMP Data
Benjamin Sun, MD, MPP
Oregon Health & Science University
Disclosures
• Dr. Sun is supported by NIH grant R01DA03652
• Dr. Sun has disclosed no relevant, real, or
apparent personal or professional financial
relationships with proprietary entities that
produce health care goods and services.
Learning Objective
• Explain the benefits, challenges and
opportunities of linking PDMP data to clinical
data.
The Plan
• NIH supported study to assess the impact of
PDMP use of emergency physicians on opioid
prescribing and patient outcomes
• Collaboration with WA State Department of
Health (PDMP) and Health Care Authority
(Medicaid)
• Beneficiary and physician level linkage of
PDMP and beneficiary level data
The Plan
Challenges
• Getting Permission
• Getting the Data
Getting Permission- State IRB
• State IRB
– Concerns about patient and provider identifiable
information
– Proposed complex linkage strategy
• PDMP vendor will create encrypted patient and
provider identifiers
• All files released to research team will have encrypted
identifiers, no direct patient identifiers
Getting Permission- State IRB
• Ambiguity in legislative language
– RCW 70.225.040 (4): “The department may
provide data to public or private entities for …
research…
– IRB questioned whether data release by PDMP
vendor violates legislation
– Department of Health issued memo clarifying
PDMP vendor is agent of DOH
Getting Permission- State IRB
• Limited Resources
– Very lengthy turnaround times
– Initial review and approval: 9 months
– Minimum risk amendment to add additional
variables: 6 months
Getting Permission- Data Use
Agreements
• Separate DUA required with Department of
Health
• Requires contracts and legal review on both
sides
• Very slow: 6 months
Getting Permission- Lessons Learned
• START EARLY
– We initiated IRB application 9 months prior to
study start; still had ~6 month delays
• ACTIVE MANAGEMENT
– Get on phone immediately to understand
potential barriers
– Conference calls when multiple parties involved
• USE (AND THANK) YOUR ALLIES
Getting the Data
Getting the Data- PDMP
• Vendor manages PDMP on behalf of state
• PDMP vendor saturated with PDMP core
tasks, non-core requests are delayed (2 years)
• Other possible solutions
– Contract directly with state
• Pay existing staff
• Hire new staff
– Varying ability of state partners to do this
Getting the Data- PDMP
• We are obtaining de-identified, non-linkable
PDMP files so that research team can
understand data structure
• We hope to obtain linkable PDMP files by late
summer 2016
Overall Project Management
• Research staff fully occupied preparing
Medicaid files for analysis (~500 million lines
of data)
• Plan to complete 4 analyses that only require
data we already have (detour from core
questions about PDMP use)
• Close contact with sponsor
Summary
• Getting permission
– Begin IRB/ DUA process as soon as possible
– Actively manage the process
• Getting data
– Explore all options, including having state
personnel prepare data
• Treat your collaborators well!

  • #9 Workflow, usability and functionality, admoption and usage, technology and vendors, Longitudinal records and rigorous methods
  • #10 Limited data set Could also imagine pharmacy evaluations of PDMP use
  • #11 Secondary use of healthcare data: research not planned when data were originally collected and stored
  • #17 Bridging the gap for data or specimens- not human research Master patient identifier in order to link across data sources, can update information over time UPMC, Miss, MI, CHOP, Duke, U of Florida, U of Ark, Ohio State, U of CA, National Jewish, U of Chicago
  • #38 I wanted to begin this talk with a bit of history about how this work started. Back in 2008, the Washington State Department of Health began a quarterly workgroup in June 2008 focused on preventing prescription, misuse, abuse and overdose. The purpose of the group was to coordinate the prevention activities already underway, set up a forum for continuing communication, and to come up with short term actions that we could work on together. I’ve included examples of who is represented on the workgroup. It is relevant to this discussion to point out that there were several emergency department physicians who attended these meetings. During the first few meetings we developed a charter, which outlines the short term actions.
  • #45 Note about opioid overdose: users can view prescription opioids and heroin separately and together.
  • #48 Note: Can choose from various denominators: e.g., counts, rate per 1,000 opioid prescriptions, rate per 1,000 population.
  • #49 Shows a heat map, most common type used in the tool. Unlike boundary maps, it captures variation where it occurs, not just based on arbitrary boundaries. Can zoom in to the neighborhood level. This is possible because the PDMP data include patient latitude/longitude, which DOH fuzzied slightly by randomizing a number of the final digits. In all of the maps, care was taken to preserve confidentiality by using suppression criteria… (describe)… here, uncolored areas have fewer than 100 patients. The big open areas here are mostly national forest, and there’s some frontier land in the east.
  • #50 Prescribing risk maps use the same format and color scheme, so they can be compared more easily. And remember, there is a little icon on the legend where users can click and see both a lay description of how the measure was calculated, and more detailed exclusion criteria, etc.
  • #51 Shows ability to compare across multiple maps on one screen. The four maps zoom simultaneously so you can compare measures within the same small geographic area.
  • #52 Shows a standard rate map, but using patient zip code. We don’t have address- or point-level data for hospitalizations, so we needed to use zip code boundaries. For overdose deaths, we do have patient address, so we can use the more precise heat maps.
  • #53 Prescriber locations fuzzied/approximate because not all are public. Describe. Includes optional filter to include only prescribers who accept Medicaid.
  • #55 Describe MAT service deserts index further.
  • #59 Development funds provided by Harold Rogers grant award, ending June 30, 2016. Additional funds needed to sustain and expand. Describe expansion a little more… also other functions, e.g., ability to layer overdose maps with naloxone dot maps.
