MOUD Missed Days Supply Threshold Alert is intended to aid, not replace, medical decision making. None of the information presented in the MOUD Missed Days Supply Threshold Alert should be used as sole justification for providing or not providing care or medications to a patient. |
Poor adherence to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) protocols for individuals diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD) could result in the relapse and increased risk of both non-fatal and fatal overdose. Despite this risk, healthcare professionals often have limited time with patients and might not be able to obtain a patient’s full health history during brief visits. Additionally, missed refill appointments may be a red flag for discontinuation that is often not addressed by healthcare professionals due to resource constraints for tracking missed appointments and outreach.
With the development of the MOUD Missed Days Supply Threshold Alert, healthcare professionals will be able to identify patients at risk of MOUD treatment discontinuation by receiving an alert if a patient has run out of a MOUD drug (buprenorphine) based on the date of the last dispensation and the days supply. If the patient has run out of an MOUD drug for longer than the PDMP specified threshold, the MOUD Missed Days Supply Threshold Alert will display on the state indicators tile of the Patient Report.
Healthcare professionals will see the MOUD Missed Days Supply Threshold Alert indicator on the Patient Report whether they are accessing the Patient Report via their state’s PMP AWARxE or Bamboo Health’s Gateway integration.
| MOUD Missed Days Supply Threshold Alert is intended to inform healthcare professionals of potential gaps in MOUD treatment and should not be used in any other way. |
If the user clicks on Details in the lower right corner of the State Indicators tile, additional information will appear regarding the reason the indicator was activated to include how many days of MOUD supply have been missed.
| If enabled by the PDMP, when an MOUD Missed Days Supply Threshold Alert is activated, an email will also be sent to all providers and their delegates who have prescribed an MOUD to that patient in the last 45 days. |
| If enabled by the PDMP, when the MOUD Missed Days Supply Threshold Alert is activated, it will also display on authorized users' AWARxE Dashboards for a period of time as determined by the PDMP. |
