A Prospective Evaluation of Colorado's New Statutory PDMP Mandates: Compliance and Patient Outcomes

Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this study is to test the impact of a clinical decision support (CDS) tool to improve health care provider practices in line with state law requiring review of the Colorado prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) before prescribing an opioid analgesic (pain medications often called narcotics) or benzodiazepine (sedatives or muscle relaxants). The PDMP is a statewide database of filled controlled medication, allowing health care providers to review medications ordered by other health care providers in the state and identify high-risk factors for overdose. The CDS tool only appears when a relevant prescription is being written by a health care provider and is purely informational, not dictating care or changes in treatment. The study will track how the tool is used by health care providers, if an opioid or benzodiazepine prescription is signed, and future opioid use by patients.
