About this opportunity

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2013 Cooperative Agreements for Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) Data Integration. The purpose of this program is to reduce prescription drug misuse and abuse by providing healthcare providers with access to PDMP data to make sound clinical decisions without disturbing their regular clinical workflow. Providing resources to states to enable hospital emergency department EHRs, primary care facility EHRs, and retail store pharmacy dispensing systems to link electronically to PDMPs will facilitate increased utilization. In order to foster the ability of states to reduce the extent of prescription drug abuse, SAMHSA expects these grantees to: 1) improve the quality of prescription drug information available to healthcare providers by integrating PDMP data into existing Information and 2) support real-time access to prescription drug information by integrating PDMP data into existing clinical workflows. Grant funds will assist states in addressing prescription drug misuse and abuse strategies by integrating their PDMP data into EHRs and other Health Information Technology (HIT) systems. These grant funds cannot be used to enhance or expand PDMPs and can only be used for the purposes of integrating PDMP data into health information systems. BackgroundThe United States is in the midst of an unprecedented drug overdose epidemic. Drug overdose death rates have increased dramatically in the last twenty years – increasing five-fold since 1980. By 2009, drug overdose deaths outnumbered deaths due to motor vehicle crashes for the first time in the United States . Since at least 1999, prescription drugs, especially opioid analgesics, have been increasingly involved in drug overdose deaths. Opioid analgesics were involved in 30 percent of drug overdose deaths where a drug was specified in 1999, compared to nearly 60 percent in 2010. Between 1999 and 2010, more than 125,000 people in the died from an overdose involving an opioid analgesic – far exceeding deaths from any other drug or drug class, licit or illicit, during this time period. In fact, opioid-related overdose deaths now outnumber overdose deaths involving all illicit drugs combined. In addition to overdose deaths, nonmedical use of prescription drugs, use without a prescription or use for the feeling or experience the drug caused, and the consequences associated with it are significant. In 2011, more than 14.5 million people 12 years and older reported nonmedical use of psychotherapeutic prescription drugs (pain stimulants) in the past year, with 11 million reporting nonmedical use of pain relievers. Rates of emergency department (ED) visits associated with pharmaceutical misuse or abuse increased 114 percent between 2004 and 2011 while rates for illicit drugs remained stable. By 2011, more than 1.4 million ED visits annually were related to the misuse or abuse of pharmaceuticals – with over 420,000 involving opioid analgesics and over 425,000 involving benzodiazepines. Substance abuse treatment admissions for opioid analgesic abuse have also increased significantly over the last decade. While recent SAMHSA surveys suggest that the actual abuse of prescription drugs has been trending lower over the last few years, prescription drug abuse remains a significant public health problem. The consequences of abuse, morbidity and mortality, maternal exposure, treatment admissions, and emergency department encounters continue to increase. In addition, there have been steady increases in the number of individuals initiating heroin abuse each year, with 81 percent of those heroin initiates indicating prior non-medical use of prescription pain relievers.
