RMHIDTA and Heroin Response Work Group

PDMP as a Surveillance Tool

• First analyzed PDMP data for 2014
• “Data dump” from PDMP vendor
• County fact sheet prototype: Characteristics of

prescriptions by county, patient-provider risk factors, death, hospitalization, emergency department

• Just received data file from PDMP vendor for 2015-

2016 last week.

• Updating county fact sheets with three years of data

then will disseminate

High Burden Communities:

Las Animas/Huerfano Otero/Crowley Teller Clear Creek Chaffee Pueblo Adams (Tri-County) Denver Alamosa (San Luis Valley) Routt Summit Larimer Jefferson/Gilpin El Paso Definition: The top counties in Colorado identified utilizing a high-burden criteria considering: the highest overdose death rates related to prescription drugs (2013-2015), the number of DEA licensed opioid prescribers, and population size.

DEA Licensed Prescribers:

County Death Rate # DEA Prescribers 2015 Population Las Animas/Huerfano 13.5 58 20,512 Otero/Crowley 11.8 65 23,327 Teller 10.3 71 23,461 Clear Creek 10.2 6 9,328 Chaffee 10 84 18,604 Pueblo 9.6 838 163,348 Adams/Arapahoe/Douglas 9.2 8,166 1,443,410 Denver 8.0 4,631 683,096 Alamosa (San Luis Valley) 7.9 165 46,097 Routt 7.4 161 24,103 Summit 6.6 152 30,299 Larimer 6.5 1,804 332,832 Jefferson/Gilpin 6.1 2,763 571,049 El Paso 5.8 3,402 677,022

$1.2 million to provider education in high-burden counties from September 1, 2016 through August 31, 2019.

Funding Formula:

# of Licensed DEA Providers Base Funding Amount < 100 $20,000 100 – 500 $30,000 500 – 5,000 $40,000 5,000 + $50,000

Additional Adjustments: Additional Funding for Partnering = $5,000 - $10,000 Additional Funding for Highest Mortality Rates (9.0 +) = $5,000 Small Population Adjustment (< 40,000) = - $5,000
