Washington State Dept. of Health's PPHF Grant Application 2012 - Grant funding will support the Washington State Department's of Health efforts to integrate the PMP with health information exchange and health record systems as well as interstate data sharing. The goals of the proposed project are to: 1) Improve prescribers' ability to prescribe appropriate medications for patients by providing them access to their patient's controlled substance history; 2) Reduce the number of overdose deaths and hospitalizations caused by prescription drug misuse; and 3) Reduce the number of individuals attempting to engage in the misuse/abuse of pharmaceutical controlled substances through the provision of controlled substance data to prescribers and dispensers. This project has the potential to impact all licensed prescribers (over 48,000), pharmacists (over 9,000), and others authorized to access the PMP data. Indirectly the entire general population of the state (6,830,038 people) will be impacted.
