Health Care Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs PDMPs Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System OARRS Root Causes Many times, individuals with the disease of addiction are stigmatized, criminalized, and/orrestrained from accessing mental health and addiction services due to lack of financial resourcesor health insurance. The prescription drug crisis and opioid overdose crisis is an epidemic buthas not had an epidemic-appropriate public health response (Davis, Green, & Beletsky, 2017).According to Davis et al (2017), the root causes of the opioid epidemic includes; overprescribingof opioid pain medications, economic stress, social isolation, and systemic pressures on thehealth care system to deal with individual’s convoluted physical and mental health needs. Much has been written about the opioid epidemic with its resulting increased death rates,Fentanyl abuse, and prescription opioid overdoses, the need for naloxone to reverse opioidoverdoses and prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs). An extensive literature reviewwas conducted over the past thirty-six months regarding the opioid epidemic, specifically withthe focus on PDMPs and Ohio’s PDMP-Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System (OARRS). Gapshave been identified pertaining to compliance with OARRS and PDMPs across the UnitedStates, as well as gaps in treatment, resources, and on-going addiction services. The focus of this qualitative research was to answer the following research questions:What is the relationship between prescribing providers of opioids and access to the OhioAutomated Rx Reporting System (OARRS)? Furthermore, why are there discrepancies amongthe providers and their use of the system? Understanding the reasons of why or why notproviders access OARRS prior to prescribing opioids is important to be able to increase the use of the data available on OARRS which in turn could possibly impact the opioid crisis. Thisresearch included in-depth interviews with medical doctors (MDs), doctors-of-osteopathicmedicine (DOs), and physician assistants (PAs), licensed by the State Medical Board of Ohio, advanced practice RNs (APRNs) licensed by the Ohio Board of Nursing, and dentists (DDS)licensed by the Ohio State Dental Board. This research examined the use of OARRS by prescribing providers to better understandwhy or why not prescribing providers were accessing available information on OARRS. Theresearcher wanted to understand the level of access to OARRS by prescribing providers whichwill add to the available research and understanding on the use of OARRS. This may assist inrecommending other approaches to increase the use of OARRS by prescribing providers. 2020-09-23 English text Franklin University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=frank1600805500975207 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=frank1600805500975207 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
