Article Synopsis
- The Pharmacy Quality Alliance (PQA) developed three opioid prescribing quality measures focused on high dosages, multiple providers/pharmacies, and the concurrent use of opioids and benzodiazepines.
- A study using Pennsylvania Medicaid data from 2013 to 2015 analyzed noncancer patients aged 18-64 to assess the prevalence of these measures and the demographic and health characteristics associated with them.
- Findings showed a slight increase in high dosage prevalence and decreases in the use of multiple providers/pharmacies and concurrent opioid/benzodiazepine use, with many patients meeting the criteria for multiple measures being eligible for Medicaid due to disability.
