Opioid Data Dashboard: A Picture of Demand Link to public dashboard 5
Using NJHIN for Clinical EHR data, surveillance 1) Daily collection of a) Demographic Data b) Rx Data (PMP/SureScripts) c) Claims Data d) HIO/Hospital EMR data/sud providers Maintain Risk table linked to NJHIN MPI 3) Based on elevated Risk Factor patient will: - be considered for ALTO guidelines - receive education and information - referred for f/u pain management 2) Every Patient Admitted in ED generates an ADT alert to NJHIN NJHIN send back a Patient Risk Score in real time. 6
Future State: Enhanced Opioid Dashboard Essex County: Demand Drug-related deaths: 271 Drug-death rate (per 100,000): 33.9 Naloxone Incidents: 739 Rate of substance use admissions (per 100,000): 1,091 Number of first time admissions: 8,773 Drug-related hospital visits (rate per 100, 000): 101.5 Opioid prescription rate (per 100): 44.8 Arrests (possession/use): 4,937 Arrests (sale/manufacture):1684 Essex County: Supply Inpatient treatment capacity (available beds) Ambulatory treatment capacity (SUD clinics, AWD services, etc.) Primary care/family medicine provider slots (Outpatient- Based Addiction Treatment, OR OBAT) Emergency rooms with suboxone induction Peer recovery specialist supply Syringe access program capacity ALTO-trained emergency rooms ALTO-trained providers Smarter Policy Decisions: SUD/integrated license prioritization by region Targeted OBAT training to providers Targeted deployment of opioid alternative training to providers New syringe access program locations Targeted deployment of ALTO training * All data is 2016 data, with exception of Nalaxone incidents, which is 2017 data. 7

Rise in Opioid Deaths Overlapping, Entangled but Distinct Epidemics 9
Preventing Opioid Overdoses and Opioid-Related Harms Conduct surveillance and research Empower consumers to make safe choices Build state, local, and tribal capacity Support providers, health systems, and payers Partner with public safety 10

Agenda Background: Rhode Island Context RI s HIE Enabled Overdose Prevention Project Components Funding Details on three of the five components Planned next steps 13
Learning Objectives Identify creative ways for states to leverage Medicaid Federal Financial Participation (FFP) to address the opioid crisis Consider three technical approaches to getting important opioidrelated data in front of providers Learn how RI plans to continue additional opioid-related HIT work 14
The Opioid Crisis in Rhode Island Source: RI Department of Health From 2011 to 2016, overdose deaths nearly doubled 15
RI Strategies to Reduce Overdose Deaths Governor Gina Raimondo s Overdose Prevention and Intervention Task Force proposed 4 strategies to reduce overdose deaths Prevention: Take aggressive measures to improve patient safety and better monitor opioid use through the PDMP Rescue: Ensure access to naloxone Treatment: Expand the quality and availability of medication-assisted treatment Recovery: Expand access to peer-recovery services and MAT More detailed data and information is available at https://preventoverdoseri.org 16
RI s Health Information Exchange RI has a state designated entity for Health Information Exchange: Rhode Island Quality Institute (RIQI) They operate the HIE which was launched in 2010: RI s HIE is currently opt-in for collecting and sharing data. About 50% of Rhode Islanders have opted-in RIQI also provides full-panel services under BAAs 17
HIE-Enabled Opioid Overdose Prevention Project RI Medicaid partnered with the Rhode Island Foundation to develop five components using CurrentCare PDMP-EHR Integrations Intelligent Overdose Alert Emergency Department Smart Notifications Emergency Medical Services Integration Talking about today SBIRT Screening Platform (Public Health Registry) 18
Funding these projects SMD #16-003 increased the activities with non-eligible Professionals (non-eps) that could be supported with HITECH dollars We requested 90/10 funding under the Medicaid HITECH I-APD to support these five efforts RI s mainstreaming clause = 100% Medicaid cost allocation This requires that any MCOs that have commercial networks much include those providers in their Medicaid networks 19
PDMP-EHR Integrations NCPDP Script 10.6 or SMART on FHIR Appriss, Inc., PMP Gateway Provider queries PDMP in one of two ways: Starts to prescribe an opioid Clicks a PDMP button Prescription Drug Monitoring Program NABP PMP Interconnect for other state data Benefits: Reduces the time to check the PDMP from 3-5 minutes to only 5 seconds Ensures compliance with state law/regulations by making it impossible to prescribe an opioid without checking the PDMP 20
Intelligent Overdose Alert Adds a *POTENTIAL OVERDOSE* flag to the subject and body of existing ADT Direct message alerts if relevant reason for visit or diagnosis is present Benefits: Makes it easy to find overdose-related ADTs in a crowded alert inbox 21
Emergency Department Smart Notifications Patient Registers at Emergency Department If risk is identified, Notification and detailed content displays in patient tracker board ADT Registration RIQI Analytics Environment Risk algorithm looks for: Any ED admissions in last 7 or 30 days Risk of Opioid Use Disorder or Opioid Overdose based on 7 factors ADTs from all Rhode Island Hospitals Clinical data from HIE repository Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Benefits: Provides high-value, actionable information that may not already exist in the EHR to the ED providers within the workflow 22
Planned Next Steps SUD/OUD Waiver: Leverage the work already underway to support the requirements of the Health IT Plan under the Medicaid 1115 SUD/OUD Waiver (SMD #17-003) Section 5042 of the SUPPORT Act: Continue to expand these efforts (additional integrations, additional features, PDMP enhancement, etc.) where justifiable with 100% FFP under this new law Continue to leverage HITECH dollars and transition to MMIS funding: Continue to roll out other efforts at 90/10 under HITECH or MMIS where applicable, and transition efforts into RI s MITA 23
