Abstrakt: Introduction: The Wisconsin Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) was implemented in 2013 to reduce the misuse, abuse, and diversion of controlled substance prescriptions.
Objective: To evaluate provider knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding the Wisconsin PDMP before and after study interventions.
Methods: An initial survey of clinicians, a focus group, pre- and posttests for an educational session, and a 3-month follow-up survey were utilized.
Results: Initial survey participants described PDMP use. Focus group themes included system, hospital, clinician, and patient factors. Educational session pre- and posttests showed an increase in provider knowledge. Follow-up surveys demonstrated practice change among providers.
Conclusion: This study can be useful for health care organizations, state PDMPs, and prevention organizations in tailoring messaging to clinicians around safe prescribing and PDMP use.
