CDC proposes a qualitative evaluation
of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) Electronic
Health Record (EHR) Integration and Interoperability Expansion
(PEHRIIE) program. The program is a collection of state initiatives
funded by 2012 Prevention and Public Health Funds cooperative
agreements through DHHS, SAMHSA. CDC is conducting an evaluation of
the program to understand the processes, challenges, and successes
in implementing and sustaining integration of PDMP data with Health
Information Technology systems and interoperability of PDMP systems
across states. The collection will capture the experiences of
clinical end users with the systems being upgraded under the
PEHRIIE program and their recommendations for how the goals of the
PEHRIIE program could have been better accomplished.
