2 The Need for Advanced Clinical Decision Support Systems for the Management of Patients with Polypharmacy: Development of a New Risk Stratification Strategy and Application to Complex Multi-drug Interactions. Jacques Turgeon, B.Pharm., PhD Associate Dean and Director, Lake Nona Campus College of Pharmacy, University of Florida Professor Emeritus, Université de Montréal Fellow, Canadian Academy of Health Sciences Fellow, Académie nationale de médecine, France Recipient of the 2010 Louis Hébert Award Disclosure - I was the Chief Scientific Officer at Tabula Rasa HealthCare until December 31 st, I was the founder and CEO of InterMed-Rx until its acquisition by Tabula Rasa HealthCare in September I led the development of the Risk Stratification Strategy described in this presentation while being CSO at Tabula Rasa HealthCare. 1

5 Impact of Adverse Drug Events Annually in the United States RIP 100,000 Deaths 1 million Emergency department visits 2 million Affected hospital stays 125,000 Hospitalizations 3.5 million Physician office visits 1.7 to to 4.6 Increased days per affected hospital stay 20.4% of Re-admissions ADEs are due mostly from: Multi-drug Interactions Leading to Unintentional Overdosing Accumulative Side Effects Adverse Drug Events and Pharmacists Performance Dec 15, 2016 Pharmacies miss half of dangerous drug combinations Investigative reporters attempted to fill potentially deadly drug combinations at 255 retail pharmacies in the Midwest over the past two years 52% of the time the prescriptions were filled without mentioning the potentially harmful interaction to the patient 4

6 Adverse Drug Events and Pharmacists Performance J Am Med Inform Assoc 2011;18: Only 18 (28%) of the 64 pharmacies correctly identified eligible interactions and non-interactions. - These study results indicate that many pharmacy clinical decision-support systems perform less than optimally with respect to identifying well-known, clinically relevant interactions. Adverse Drug Events and Pharmacists Performance - Is it the science? - Is it the knowledge? - Is it the workflow / time? - Is it the remuneration model? - Is it the lack of information? - Is it the tool? 5

7 Clinical Decision Support Systems My clinical experience, research and thinking lead me to conclude that: An analysis based on multiple one-drug-to-one-drug comparisons is obsolete and most often, inappropriate. There is no electronic software or tool capable of providing the right answer to a practitioner under conditions of multi-drug interactions in a patient with polypharmacy. Tools to be used must provide the most accurate information but let the practitioner make the correct interpretation and action plan. Clinical Decision Support Systems 6

13 Clinical Decision Support Systems: The Matrix 2 What are the colors (affinity) of interacting drugs? Clinical Decision Support Systems: The Matrix 3 What is the bioavailability (F), of the drug with the LOWEST affinity? 12

14 Clinical Decision Support Systems: The Matrix Log Plasma Concentration F = 80% A small increase in the Cmax is to be expected on first dose Time Clinical Decision Support Systems: The Matrix 4 What is contribution of this metabolic pathway to the overall clearance? C ave = 100 / (100 65) C ave = 3-fold increase 13

15 The CYP450 Superfamily: Time of Dosing The strategy is to avoid having two substrates of the same isoenzyme being present at high concentrations in the liver/intestine at the same time. Give the substrate with the lowest affinity first. Determine the Tmax of the substrate with the lowest affinity. Give the substrate with the highest affinity with a delay equal or greater than the Tmax of the low affinity substrate. The CYP450 Superfamily: Time of Dosing 14

20 Major Research Themes Intersubject Variability in Drug Action Drug-drug Interactions CYP450s & Transporters Pharmacogenetics Clinical Decision Support Systems Risk Stratification Drug-induced Long QT Syndrome herg (I Kr ) channel blockers CYP3As and block of I Kr Drug-drug interactions Cardiac CYP450s & transporters How can Pharmacists Mitigate Risk Associated with Drug-related Adverse Events? What is Risk Stratification? The purpose of our research was to develop a tool that can predict risk of drug-related adverse reactions and events using drug claims as the source of information (PACE, EMTM, self-insured employers,...) Specifically, we are trying to predict: - Drug-related adverse reactions and events - Healthcare Outcomes - Costs But more importantly, the purpose of predicting these variables is to determine which patients should receive interventions to avoid negative outcomes by optimizing drug regimen. 19

21 One can assume that there is a relationship between a Risk Score and Medical Expenditures. Medication Risk Score vs Medical Expenditures Yearly Medical Expenditures (US Dollars) Medication Risk Score One can assume distribution of members Yearly Medical Expenditures (US Dollars) Medication Risk Score vs Medical Expenditures Number of members Medication Risk Score 20

22 One could decide to concentrate efforts on 10-15% of the population Yearly Medical Expenditures (US Dollars) Medication Risk Score vs Medical Expenditures 10-15% Number of members Medication Risk Score Various Risk Stratification Strategies Charlson: - Relies on Medical Coding for accuracy Issues in availability of HCC/ICD codes Procedures only allow one code for billing purposes. Von Korff: - Requires updates whenever new drugs are added - Drugs can have more than one disease indication HARP - Utilizes geriatric interviews to stratify - Has only moderate predictive power LACE: - Retrospective hospitalization data does not necessarily mean future hospitalizations 21

31 TRHC Proprietary Risk Stratification Tool Once all 5 algorithms were developed, they were combined using one last algorithm. This last algorithm combines all individual risk factor scores into one overall Total Risk Score for each patient in the data feed. Once this is done, a report is generated containing the risk stratification risks of the entire population being examined. These results are then statistically analyzed TRHC Proprietary Risk Stratification Tool Total Risk Score Distribution in 320,000 patients 30

35 Conclusions The use of advanced Clinical Decision Support Systems is of great value for the establishment of personalized, more precise and improved drug regimen. Risk stratification tools could help identify the patients at increased risk of drug-related adverse events. These tools, combined, represent the basis of proposed enhanced MTM models currently being applied and tested. How can Pharmacists Mitigate Risk Associated with Drug-related Adverse Events?
