The Cabinet<br />

• In 1999 The Cabinet for Health and Family<br />

Services was given the challenge to establish<br />

a program to fight the rising incidence of the<br />

diversion of legal prescription drugs into the<br />

illegal market.<br />

• In response <strong>Kentucky</strong> implemented:<br />

– Controlled substance security prescription<br />

blanks blanks, and<br />

– The <strong>Kentucky</strong> <strong>All</strong> <strong>Schedule</strong> <strong>Prescription</strong><br />

<strong>Electronic</strong> <strong>Reporting</strong> (<strong>KASPER</strong>) system.<br />

system<br />

Cabinet for Health and Family Services


What is <strong>KASPER</strong>?<br />

<strong>KASPER</strong> is <strong>Kentucky</strong>’s <strong>Prescription</strong> Monitoring<br />

Program (PMP). <strong>KASPER</strong> tracks <strong>Schedule</strong> II – V<br />

controlled t ll d substance b t prescriptions i ti di dispensed d within ithi<br />

the state as reported by pharmacies and other<br />

dispensers.<br />

<strong>KASPER</strong> is a Web accessed database that provides p<br />

a tool to help address one of the largest threats to<br />

patient safety in the Commonwealth of <strong>Kentucky</strong>; the<br />

misuse misuse, abuse and diversion of controlled<br />

pharmaceutical substances.<br />

Cabinet for Health and Family Services


Controlled Substance <strong>Schedule</strong>s<br />

• <strong>Schedule</strong> I – Illegal Drugs<br />

– e.g. heroin, marijuana, etc.<br />

• <strong>Schedule</strong> II – Most addictive legal drugs; high<br />

abuse potential<br />

– ee.g. g oxycodone (Oxycontin (Oxycontin, Percocet Percocet, Tylox)<br />

• <strong>Schedule</strong> III – Less abuse potential than I or II<br />

– ee.g. g hydrocodone combinations (Vicodin (Vicodin, Lortab) Lortab).<br />

• <strong>Schedule</strong> IV – Less abuse potential than III.<br />

– e.g. benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium).<br />

• <strong>Schedule</strong> V – least abuse potential<br />

– e.g. codeine containing cough mixtures.<br />

Cabinet for Health and Family Services


The Need for <strong>KASPER</strong><br />

• Health care professionals need a tool to help<br />

identify patient prescription drug problems<br />

and when intervention may be needed.<br />

• Diversion of controlled substances is<br />

reaching epidemic proportions.<br />

– Diverters cover large areas to obtain drugs drugs.<br />

– Agencies need efficiency and value in their<br />

investigative tools tools.<br />

Cabinet for Health and Family Services


Statutory Authority for <strong>KASPER</strong><br />

• KRS 218A.202 218A 202<br />

– The Cabinet for Health and Family Services shall<br />

establish an electronic system y for monitoring g <strong>Schedule</strong>s<br />

II, III, IV, and V controlled substances that are dispensed<br />

within the Commonwealth by a practitioner or pharmacist<br />

or dispensed p to an address within the Commonwealth by y<br />

a pharmacy that has obtained a license, permit, or other<br />

authorization to operate from the <strong>Kentucky</strong> Board of<br />

Pharmacy. y<br />

• 902 KAR 55:110<br />

– The purpose of this administrative regulation is to<br />

establish t bli h th the criteria it i ffor reporting ti prescription i ti ddata, t ffor<br />

providing reports to authorized persons, and for a waiver<br />

for a dispenser who does not have an automated record<br />

keeping system.<br />

Problems with Controlled<br />

Substances


• Misuse:<br />

Misuse, Abuse, Diversion<br />

– When a schedule II – V substance is taken by an<br />

individual for a non-medical reason.<br />

• Abuse:<br />

– When an individual repeatedly takes a schedule<br />

II – V substance for a non-medical non medical reason reason.<br />

• Diversion:<br />

– When a schedule II – V substance is acquired<br />

and/or taken by an individual for whom the<br />

medication was not prescribed prescribed.<br />

From 1992 to 2003 the 15.1 million Americans<br />

abusing controlled prescription drugs exceeded<br />

the combined number abusing:<br />

– Cocaine (5 (5.9 9 million) million),<br />

– Hallucinogens (4.0 million),<br />

– Inhalants (2 (2.1 1 million) million), and<br />

– Heroin (.3 million).<br />

“Pharm Parties”<br />

• Short for pharmaceutical party, a rapidly increasing<br />

problem with teens and young adults.<br />

• Bowls and baggies of random prescription drugs<br />

called “trail mix”.<br />

• Collecting pills from the family medicine cabinet<br />

called “pharming”.<br />

• Internet chat rooms are used to share “recipes” for<br />

getting i hi high h with i h prescription i i ddrugs.<br />

– Users sometimes refer to pills by color rather than brand<br />

name, content or potency. p y<br />

Cough Syrup “Cocktails”<br />

• Mixes of codeine-containing cough medicine with soft<br />

drinks or sports drinks.<br />

• Popularized in rap songs in the late 1990s. Known<br />

as “Lean”, “Syrup”, Sizzurp” or “Purple Drank”.<br />

– Users typically mix an ounce of the medicine with a sports<br />

drink, Sprite or Big Red, then plop in a Jolly Rancher candy<br />

and pour the mixture over ice.<br />

• San Diego Chargers defensive back Terrence Kiel<br />

charged in September 2006 with illegally shipping<br />

cases of prescription cough medicine to a relative in<br />

Goals of <strong>KASPER</strong><br />

• <strong>KASPER</strong> was designed as a tool to help<br />

address the problem with prescription drug<br />

abuse and diversion by providing:<br />

– A source of information for health care<br />

professionals.<br />

– An investigative tool for law enforcement.<br />

• <strong>KASPER</strong> was not designed to:<br />

– Prevent people from getting prescription drugs drugs.<br />

– Decrease the number of doses dispensed.<br />

Cabinet for Health and Family Services


A National Perspective<br />

• <strong>Kentucky</strong> is the recognized leader in <strong>Prescription</strong><br />

Monitoring Program implementation.<br />

• <strong>Kentucky</strong> y used as the model for NASPER legislation g to<br />

provide funding for enhancements related to sharing<br />

PMP information with other states.<br />

• <strong>KASPER</strong> satisfaction i f i survey results l and d other h program<br />

information utilized by other states to foster their efforts<br />

to implement and expand PMPs PMPs.<br />

Planned Enhancements<br />

• Contract with a vendor to provide most controlled<br />

substance prescription data within 24 hours of<br />

dispensing.<br />

• Participate in a Cabinet ePrescribing pilot program.<br />

• Work with federal government to support efforts to<br />

share PMP data among the states.<br />

– Participate on Bureau of Justice Assistance sponsored PMP<br />

Committee.<br />

– Participate in a pilot project to share PMP data (KY, MI, MS,<br />

Data Analysis and Trend <strong>Reporting</strong><br />

• KRS 218A.240 (7) (a)<br />

– The Cabinet for Health and Family Services shall use the<br />

data compiled in the electronic system created in KRS<br />

218A.202 for investigations, research, statistical analysis,<br />

and educational purposes purposes, and shall proactively identify<br />

trends in controlled substance usage and other potential<br />

problem areas.<br />

– OOnly l cabinet bi t personnel l who h hhave undergone d ttraining i i ffor th the<br />

system shall be authorized access to the data and reports<br />

under d thi this subsection. b ti<br />

– No reports shall identify an individual prescriber, dispenser<br />

or patient. p<br />

Cabinet for Health and Family Services


<strong>KASPER</strong> Trend <strong>Reporting</strong><br />

The <strong>KASPER</strong> legislation required the Cabinet to<br />

develop p trend reporting p g criteria and ppublish<br />

trend<br />

reports quarterly.<br />

• Criteria developed in collaboration with:<br />

– Licensure Boards.<br />

– Law enforcement focus group.<br />

• Utilizing geographic information system (GIS)<br />

software to provide graphical representation<br />

of the data and to conduct “hot spot” analysis.<br />

Cabinet for Health and Family Services


Goal of Trend <strong>Reporting</strong><br />

• To allow the professional licensure boards and<br />

law enforcement officials to have the tools<br />

needed to identify potential “hot spots” and<br />

possible diverters under their scrutiny.<br />

• The original mandate was to provide<br />

“spreadsheet” spreadsheet type tools tools.<br />

• By working with our epidemiologist we<br />

expanded d d th the concept t tto include i l d GIS mapping i<br />

and analysis.<br />

Cabinet for Health and Family Services


Overview of Today’s Trend Reports<br />

• Based on patient residence zip code data.<br />

• Excludes county boundaries on published<br />

maps.<br />

– To minimize legislative and media scrutiny scrutiny.<br />

• Trend maps being published on <strong>KASPER</strong><br />

WWeb b site. it<br />

• Spreadsheets and all trend maps available to<br />

the boards.<br />

Cabinet for Health and Family Services


The Next Level of Data Analysis<br />

• Recent database changes allow analysis based<br />

upon prescriber and dispenser addresses as<br />

well.<br />

• Implement changes to allow breakdown by<br />

prescriber type (MD, DO, DMD, ARNP, etc).<br />

– Licensure boards seeking g identification of<br />

licensees prescribing/dispensing in excess of the<br />

“norm” for their specialty.<br />

• Analysis of <strong>KASPER</strong> data and crime data may<br />

provide predictive tool for law enforcement.<br />

Cabinet for Health and Family Services


Data Analysis Collaboration Process<br />

• Research team submits formal request to the CHFS/Office of<br />

the Inspector General (OIG) for <strong>KASPER</strong> data.<br />

– Identify organization, organization purpose of research, research proposed<br />

methodology to be employed and publication plan.<br />

• On a case by case basis, CHFS/OIG reviews request and<br />

obtains additional information as needed needed.<br />

• CHFS/OIG and research team agree upon collaboration plan.<br />

– <strong>Schedule</strong><br />
