Funny how the article focuses on antipsychotics (although huge compliance issue, see CATIE) but I would have thought application to chronic opioid and BZD use would be the much more center stage as a means to control diversion/selling Rx on the streets.

Edit: Ok, abuse too, the obvious...

This is great but the physicians need approval from the patient to access the data so it's basically worthless.

Agreed about opioids.
 
Members don't see this ad :)

Or a court order, like Antabuse is the only reason I see this being prescribed unless the patient is severely cognitively impaired and the prescribers still want to do this despite the obvious safety contraindication .

I'd love to see the look on a Pain Mgmt doc's face when he gets 3 alerts for the Oxycontin 80mg and 17 alerts for the MS IR 30mg for break through pain on the "Earliest Fill Date"

I feel like they have to take a "How to Remain Blissfully Ignorant" CE every month
