8 Optimizing Patients' Health by Improving the Quality of Medication Use PQA Patient Safety Measures for Inappropriate Prescription Opioid Use Norris Turner, PharmD, PhD Vice President, Strategic Alliances and Measure Implementation Pharmacy Quality Alliance

9 Who is the Pharmacy Quality Alliance? Mission Statement: Improve the quality of medication management and use across health care settings with the goal of improving patients health through a collaborative process to develop and implement performance measures and recognize examples of exceptional pharmacy quality. Created in 2006 as a public-private partnership Multi-Stakeholder, Member-Based, Non-Profit Transparent & Consensus Based Process Nationwide Measure Developer 9 Pharmacy Quality Alliance

10 Rationale for PQA Opioid Prescribing Measures Nearly half of US opioid overdose deaths involve prescription opioids 1. CDC. Wide-ranging online data for epidemiologic research (WONDER); Available at 2. Rudd RA, et al. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. epub: 16 December DOI: 10 Pharmacy Quality Alliance

11 Rationale for Opioid Prescribing Measures (cont.) Nearly 1 of 4 people who receive long-term prescription opioids for noncancer pain struggles with addiction 1. SAMHSA. Highlights of the 2011 Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) findings on drug-related emergency department visits; Available at: 2. Boscarino JA, et al., Addiction 2010;105: org/ /j x Pharmacy Quality Alliance 11

12 PQA Opioids Measures 1. Use of Opioids at High Dosage in Persons without Cancer (NQF #2940) * 2. Use of Opioids from Multiple Providers in Persons without Cancer (NQF #2950) * 3. Use of Opioids at High Dosage and from Multiple Providers in Persons without Cancer (NQF #2951) * 4. Concurrent Use of Opioids and Benzodiazepines ** NQF = National Quality Forum * PQA-endorsed May 2015; NQF-endorsed March 2017 ** PQA-endorsed December 2016; seeking NQF endorsement in Pharmacy Quality Alliance

13 Multiple Providers Multiple prescribers or pharmacies associated with increased risk for potentially fatal overdose Risk increases with number of prescribers and pharmacies In West Virginia ( ), 4 prescribers and 4 pharmacies in previous 6 months increased risk of drug-related death 3.6-fold 1 In Tennessee ( ), 4 prescribers and 4 pharmacies increased risk of opioid-related overdose death 6.5- and 6.0-fold, respectively 2 1. Peirce GL, et al. Med Care. 2012;50(6): doi: /MLR.0b013e31824ebd81. PubMed PMID: Gwira Baumblatt J et al. JAMA Intern Med 2014;174: PMID: Pharmacy Quality Alliance

14 Concurrent Use with Benzodiazepines Concurrent use of benzodiazepines with opioids increased overdose death risk 4-fold among US veterans ( ) 1 Concurrent use increased by nearly 80% (9% to 17%) among privately insured patients ( ) 2 Increased risk of ED visit or hospital admission for opioid overdose 2-fold Eliminating concurrent use could reduce population risk by 15% CDC guidelines: Avoid concurrent prescribing whenever possible 3 FDA added boxed warning to product labeling 4 1. Park et al. BMJ. 2015;350:h2698. doi: /bmj.h2698. PMID: Sun et al. BMJ. 2017;356:j760. doi: /bmj.j760. PMID: CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain United States, Available at: 4. FDA Drug Safety Communication. August 31, Available at: 14 Pharmacy Quality Alliance

15 Use of PQA Opioid Measures in Medicaid Medicaid Adult Core Measure Set High Dosage (#1) added to measure set in Concurrent Benzodiazepines (#4) conditionally supported (pending NQF endorsement) by the Measures Application Partnership for addition 2 NQF = National Quality Forum 1. Medicaid Adult Health Care Quality Measures. Available at: 2. Measures Application Partnership. Medicaid Adult Draft Report for Comment. August 8, Available at 15 Pharmacy Quality Alliance

16 Conclusion There is wide variation in opioid prescribing PQA opioid measures address high-risk opioid prescribing among persons without cancer Performance measures are one tool to address the US prescription opioid crisis Use of opioid measures in performance programs will be monitored for possible unintended consequences PQA will continue to evaluate the need for potential changes or additional measures 16 Pharmacy Quality Alliance
