agreement or protocol with a provider.
• Collaborative practice agreement: A formal
agreement in which a licensed provider makes a
diagnosis, supervises patient care, and refers
patient to a pharmacist under a protocol or
agreement that allows the pharmacist to perform
specific patient care functions.
• Terminology* for the agreement varies in state
law
*Collaborative drug therapy management agreement, collaborative pharmacy practice agreement, consult agreement,
physician-pharmacist agreement, standing order or protocol, simply physician delegation
Current Landscape of CPAs

• Pharmacists are well positioned to improve care and reduce
the costs of treating chronic illnesses
– Medication Therapy Management (MTM)
– Medication reconciliation
– Medication adherence services
– Preventive care
– Disease-management services
– Education and behavioral counseling
Pharmacist Roles- Pain Management
Depending on practice setting and scope of practice, pharmacists
can:
• Educate patients on safe and effective use of opioids; risks of
addiction, overdose and abuse; and proper disposal
• Perform comprehensive medication reviews and conduct
ongoing monitoring of the patient’s medications
• Initiate, modify, and discontinue therapy per scope of practice
and CPA
• Develop treatment plans in coordination with other members
of the health care team
• Provide drug information and make recommendations to the
health care team
• Consult prescription drug monitoring programs
Pharmacist’s Role in Opioid Abuse,
Addiction, and Diversion

pharmacists/
pharmacies (e.g.
Pharmacy chain pays
$80 million in DEA fines
in 2013)
Patient
legitimate
need/ access
Collaboration with
other healthcare
professionals;
concerns (e.g. 2013
AMA policy)
Pharmacist Role –
Prevention of Prescription Drug Abuse
• Monitor for signs of abuse
– Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP)
• Educate/provide information on treatment
• Involvement with pain contracts
• Take back programs
– Iowa’s TakeAway Program
• Over 101,000 pounds disposed since Nov. 2009
Programs Focused on Prevention of
Prescription Drug Abuse
• GenerationRx Program
• Pharmacist Recovery Network (PRN)
• Special Interest Groups: eg. APhA-APPM Pain,
Palliative Care and Addiction S.I.G.
• 2009: Cardinal Health partnered with The
Ohio State University College of Pharmacy
– Educational resources, toolkits, national
partnerships, a recognition program, community
support of non-profit organizations, and employee
and customer community involvement
http://pharmacy.osu.edu/outreach/generation-rx-initiative
http://www.cardinal.com/us/en/generationrx
• Examples of free
resources:
– Youth Educational Toolkit
– Senior/Best Use of
Medications Toolkit
– Collegiate Toolkit
Maximizing effectiveness: Pharmacist’s
role in prescription drug abuse
• Challenges
– Access to patient medical records
• Health information technology barriers
– Variability in scope of practice across states
• Includes Collaborative Practice Agreements
– Variability in PMP access and reporting
requirements across states
– Alignment of incentives
Maximizing Effectiveness:
Addressing the Challenges Together
*Stakeholders include physicians, pharmacists, and the supply
chain spectrum
Maximizing Effectiveness:
Addressing the Challenges Together
• Early 2013
– Delays in the dispensing of opioids and other
controlled substances in some pharmacy chains
– Pharmacists scope of practice questioned
• Stakeholder workgroup led by NABP
– Document Goal: Provide health care practitioners
with an understanding of their shared responsibility to
ensure controlled substances are prescribed and
dispensed for legitimate purposes and provide
guidance on red flag warning signs that warrant
further scrutiny
Consensus Document Highlights
• Summary of challenges faced by physicians,
pharmacists, wholesalers and manufacturers
– Valuable perspectives gained by all stakeholders
• Factors indicative of substance abuse or diversion
– Red flag warning signs for physicians and pharmacists
• Other aberrant medication-related behaviors
**Need for balance between legitimate need and
prevention of abuse and diversion
**Document does not set standards
**Additional follow-up activities planned
http://www.nabp.net/system/rich/rich_files/rich_files/000/000/870/original/
consensusdocumentmarch2015.pdf
Challenges and Barriers
• Manufacturers
– REMS restrictions
– Regulatory issues related to abuse-deterrent
formulations
– DEA mandates for monitoring of suspicious orders
• Distributors
– DEA mandates for monitoring of suspicious orders
– Record-keeping absent
Challenges and Barriers
• Prescribers/Physicians
– Difficulty in objectively assessing pain (pain
involves multiple sensory inputs and is influenced
by many factors)
– Multi-faceted practice environment with high
demands on time
– Lack of reimbursement for non-pharmacologic
approaches and multi-disciplinary care contribute
to use of opiates
Challenges and Barriers
• Pharmacists
– Corresponding Responsibility – legal responsibility to
ensure the legitimacy of a controlled substance
prescription
• May require outreach to prescriber
– Multi-faceted practice environment with high demands on
time
– Lack of information needed to assess the prescription
(could be facilitated through HIT solutions)
– PMP reporting requirements vary greatly from state to
state
– Continuous tension between patient care and policing
“Red Flag” Categories: Prescribers
• Initial Visit/Presentation
• Medication Taking/Supply
• Patient Behavior/Communication
• Treatment plan related
• Illicit/illegal
“Red Flag” Examples: Physician
• Patients travel to prescriber’s practice as a group
and all request controlled substance prescriptions
on same day
• Patient exhibits multiple unexplained dose
escalations or other non-adherence to the
treatment plan
• Patient behavior or PDMP report provides
evidence that the patient is obtaining controlled
substance prescriptions from multiple health care
practitioners without the prescribers’ knowledge
of the other prescriptions.
“Red Flag” Categories: Pharmacist
• Presentation of the prescription
• Patient behavior
• Medication taking/supply
• Illicit/illegal
“Red Flag” Examples: Pharmacist
• Patients travel in groups and/or have unexplainable
common factors in their relationships with each other
• Patient presents several prescriptions written for
controlled and non-controlled substances, but only
wants the controlled substance medication(s)
dispensed
• Patient presents prescriptions for large quantities or
large number of prescriptions for controlled substances
• Patient indicates that drugs will be shared with others
or sold
Maximizing Effectiveness:
Addressing the Challenges Together
• Pharmacist may need to communicate with
physician to validate prescription legitimacy
– Need for efficient and effective communication
mechanisms to share information
• PMPs show promise in monitoring for patterns of
abuse
• Collect best practice examples
• Education and collaboration among all key
stakeholders can help prevent and discourage
prescription drug abuse
Goal- Collaborative Efforts
• Collaboration between patients, prescribers, and
pharmacists is imperative for success
– Pharmacist management of medication use strives
to provide patient-centered medication therapy
with the goal of positive patient outcomes
J Am Pharm Assoc (2003) 2010;50:e35-e69. Dol:10.1331/JAPHA.2010.10510.
Summary and Future Direction
• Pharmacist expertise and integration into team-based models of
care could lead to improved savings and health outcomes
• Select states have developed policies which allow pharmacists to
practice at the top of their professional training
• All states should coordinate efforts to address the following:
– Collaborative practice agreements (CPAs)
– Pharmacist recognition as health care providers
– Access to health IT systems
– Aligned payment policies for pharmacist services
• Pharmacists are well-positioned to assist in efforts to prevent
prescription drug abuse.
– Specific training on medication management
– Broad access to patients in varied settings

  • 33. Pharmacist’s Role in Opioid Abuse, Addiction, and Diversion Patient Care: Pain Management Addiction treatment Enforcement: Prevent diversion 33 Finding an appropriate balance DEA enforcement on pharmacists/ pharmacies (e.g. Pharmacy chain pays $80 million in DEA fines in 2013) Patient legitimate need/ access Collaboration with other healthcare professionals; concerns (e.g. 2013 AMA policy)
  • 34. Pharmacist Role – Prevention of Prescription Drug Abuse • Monitor for signs of abuse – Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) • Educate/provide information on treatment • Involvement with pain contracts • Take back programs – Iowa’s TakeAway Program • Over 101,000 pounds disposed since Nov. 2009
  • 35. Programs Focused on Prevention of Prescription Drug Abuse • GenerationRx Program • Pharmacist Recovery Network (PRN) • Special Interest Groups: eg. APhA-APPM Pain, Palliative Care and Addiction S.I.G.

  • 37. • Examples of free resources: – Youth Educational Toolkit – Senior/Best Use of Medications Toolkit – Collegiate Toolkit
  • 38. Maximizing effectiveness: Pharmacist’s role in prescription drug abuse • Challenges – Access to patient medical records • Health information technology barriers – Variability in scope of practice across states • Includes Collaborative Practice Agreements – Variability in PMP access and reporting requirements across states – Alignment of incentives
  • 39. Maximizing Effectiveness: Addressing the Challenges Together *Stakeholders include physicians, pharmacists, and the supply chain spectrum
  • 40. Maximizing Effectiveness: Addressing the Challenges Together • Early 2013 – Delays in the dispensing of opioids and other controlled substances in some pharmacy chains – Pharmacists scope of practice questioned • Stakeholder workgroup led by NABP – Document Goal: Provide health care practitioners with an understanding of their shared responsibility to ensure controlled substances are prescribed and dispensed for legitimate purposes and provide guidance on red flag warning signs that warrant further scrutiny
  • 41. Consensus Document Highlights • Summary of challenges faced by physicians, pharmacists, wholesalers and manufacturers – Valuable perspectives gained by all stakeholders • Factors indicative of substance abuse or diversion – Red flag warning signs for physicians and pharmacists • Other aberrant medication-related behaviors **Need for balance between legitimate need and prevention of abuse and diversion **Document does not set standards **Additional follow-up activities planned http://www.nabp.net/system/rich/rich_files/rich_files/000/000/870/original/ consensusdocumentmarch2015.pdf
  • 42. Challenges and Barriers • Manufacturers – REMS restrictions – Regulatory issues related to abuse-deterrent formulations – DEA mandates for monitoring of suspicious orders • Distributors – DEA mandates for monitoring of suspicious orders – Record-keeping absent
  • 43. Challenges and Barriers • Prescribers/Physicians – Difficulty in objectively assessing pain (pain involves multiple sensory inputs and is influenced by many factors) – Multi-faceted practice environment with high demands on time – Lack of reimbursement for non-pharmacologic approaches and multi-disciplinary care contribute to use of opiates
  • 44. Challenges and Barriers • Pharmacists – Corresponding Responsibility – legal responsibility to ensure the legitimacy of a controlled substance prescription • May require outreach to prescriber – Multi-faceted practice environment with high demands on time – Lack of information needed to assess the prescription (could be facilitated through HIT solutions) – PMP reporting requirements vary greatly from state to state – Continuous tension between patient care and policing
  • 45. “Red Flag” Categories: Prescribers • Initial Visit/Presentation • Medication Taking/Supply • Patient Behavior/Communication • Treatment plan related • Illicit/illegal
  • 46. “Red Flag” Examples: Physician • Patients travel to prescriber’s practice as a group and all request controlled substance prescriptions on same day • Patient exhibits multiple unexplained dose escalations or other non-adherence to the treatment plan • Patient behavior or PDMP report provides evidence that the patient is obtaining controlled substance prescriptions from multiple health care practitioners without the prescribers’ knowledge of the other prescriptions.
  • 47. “Red Flag” Categories: Pharmacist • Presentation of the prescription • Patient behavior • Medication taking/supply • Illicit/illegal
  • 48. “Red Flag” Examples: Pharmacist • Patients travel in groups and/or have unexplainable common factors in their relationships with each other • Patient presents several prescriptions written for controlled and non-controlled substances, but only wants the controlled substance medication(s) dispensed • Patient presents prescriptions for large quantities or large number of prescriptions for controlled substances • Patient indicates that drugs will be shared with others or sold
  • 49. Maximizing Effectiveness: Addressing the Challenges Together • Pharmacist may need to communicate with physician to validate prescription legitimacy – Need for efficient and effective communication mechanisms to share information • PMPs show promise in monitoring for patterns of abuse • Collect best practice examples • Education and collaboration among all key stakeholders can help prevent and discourage prescription drug abuse
  • 50. Goal- Collaborative Efforts • Collaboration between patients, prescribers, and pharmacists is imperative for success – Pharmacist management of medication use strives to provide patient-centered medication therapy with the goal of positive patient outcomes J Am Pharm Assoc (2003) 2010;50:e35-e69. Dol:10.1331/JAPHA.2010.10510.
  • 51. Summary and Future Direction • Pharmacist expertise and integration into team-based models of care could lead to improved savings and health outcomes • Select states have developed policies which allow pharmacists to practice at the top of their professional training • All states should coordinate efforts to address the following: – Collaborative practice agreements (CPAs) – Pharmacist recognition as health care providers – Access to health IT systems – Aligned payment policies for pharmacist services • Pharmacists are well-positioned to assist in efforts to prevent prescription drug abuse. – Specific training on medication management – Broad access to patients in varied settings
  • 52. Self Assessment Questions 1. Which of the following is true? a) Pharmacists’ entry level degree is a doctor of pharmacy b) Pharmacists’ scope of practice is standardized across the U.S. c) All states with collaborative practice authority require pharmacists to have advance practice designations d) A & C e) All of the above
  • 53. Self Assessment Questions 2. Barriers to maximizing effectiveness of pharmacists within the health care system include: a) Laws and regulations governing collaborative practice agreements b) Provider recognition that enables compensation for pharmacists’ patient care services c) Access to health IT systems d) All of the above
  • 54. Self Assessment Questions 3. All of the following are pharmacists’ roles in preventing prescription drug abuse EXCEPT: a) Educating patients and the public on the risks of abuse from prescription drugs b) Fulfilling corresponding responsibility to ensure prescriptions are legitimate c) Diagnosing conditions for which prescription drugs with risk of addiction are prescribed d) Participating in prescription take-back programs

Editor's Notes

  1. http://www.nga.org/cms/center/health
  2. Prior to enrolling in a Doctor of Pharmacy Program Two years pre-pharmacy collegiate courses Majority obtain a bachelor’s degree (B.S.) Pharmacy College Admissions Test (PCAT) Measurement of general and pharmacy-specific academic knowledge Four year Doctor of Pharmacy degree (PharmD.) Requirement enacted in 2004 by the Accreditation Council on Pharmacy Education (ACPE) Core competencies: Biomedicine Pharmaceutical sciences Social, behavioral, and administrative sciences Clinical sciences Clinical training through externships Prior to practice: North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) Jurisprudence Examination Additional Training: Residency Voluntary certification in a specialty practice area
  3. Standard activities per the NABP Model State Pharmacy Practice Act, http://www.nabp.net/publications/model-act
  4. As authorized by state law, pharmacists can enter into formal collaborative practice agreements (CPA) with providers that permit pharmacists to perform patient care functions beyond the their normal scope of practice. The terminology used for these agreements or protocols can vary from state to state.
  5. This map, created from 2014 National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations data, shows the current collaborative practice authority laws in the U.S. Currently 48 states have some form of collaborative practice authority. The states shown in green have broad authority where the states shown in yellow have more restrictions. Authority can be restricted by practice setting, type of chronic condition, type of drug, and single vs multiple patients covered by an agreement. Pharmacists in the two states shown in red do not currently have collaborative practice authority.

The IOM defines ADE as any injury due to medication. Examples include a wrong dosage leading to injury (e.g., rash, confusion, or loss of function) or an allergic reaction occurring in a patient not known to be allergic to a given medication. 7http://www.nehi.net/writable/publication_files/file/pa_issue_brief_final.pdf
  8. Collaborative care models are emerging where health care providers use a team-based approach to better coordinate care and improve health outcomes. Pharmacists in both outpatient and inpatient settings contribute medication expertise and skills in disease management and prevention as members of the health care team.
  9. Medication management is at the heart of pharmacists’ training and encompasses a spectrum of services that optimize medication use and ensure patient safety. Services are tailored to the individual needs of patients and should be coordinated with the patient’s other health care services. Patients may receive services that focus solely on medications such as a medication review for a patient on 15 medications seeing 4 different physicians, or medication management may be a component of disease management services such as diabetes or cholesterol management. Medication reconciliation that includes an assessment of medications, is considered a medication management service. There is currently marketplace variability in the terminology and service design used for medication management services.
  10. **Washington: Clinical Community Pharmacy Set of disease states pharmacists can diagnose and prescribe for; partnered with universities to implement and track results of program/initiative. Patient administered Naloxone pharmacists can prescribe and dispense naloxone. Clinical Community Pharmacist From website: http://www.communitypharmacyfoundation.org/grants/details.asp?grants_id=70773 We propose to design and execute a collaboration between a pharmacy association, academia, community and clinic based pharmacies in Washington State to create a pharmacist-prescribed class of drugs through collaborative practice agreements that create a Clinical Community Pharmacist Formulary. We will establish the criteria for using a formulary of medications for pharmacist prescribing in acute care. We further propose to train a cadre of pharmacists that will have access to a drug formulary, to collect data in order to estimate the costs and benefits of this program, and to assess patient satisfaction. Finally, we plan to create a web-based platform that will allow data collection and tracking that could be replicated for future use in other States. Naloxone http://prescribetoprevent.org/pharmacists/ **Jenny Arnold, Pharm.D., Director of Pharmacy Practice Development at Washington State Pharmacy Association will be sending more information on programs by 3/4/15.

  11. Talk about the role of the pharmacist in chronic care management presenting these statistics (could delete this slide in the end though)
  12. Educate patients on safe and effective use of opioids Drug-disease interactions (e.g. Sleep apnea and respiratory depression) Drug-drug interactions (e.g. Hydrocodone and macrolide antibiotics) . Interview the patient and analyze data from patient controlled analgesia devices as a tool to determine the appropriate dose
  13. DEA focuses attention on the pharmacy to trail the enforcement to the pharmacy as the last point where patient care safety can be impacted. More than any other provider, pharmacist is in the most difficult position (verification of right patient, leg Rx, etc. Slide 9 (Balancing ) or Slide 18 (here) – NABP collation did stem from the AMA House of Delegates (May or June 2015) passed a resolution preventing the pharmacists intrusion into medicine.
