1- It would be helpful to have a Google Drive Document that had the most up to date contact information for Pain Management Practices.

I would see if it was possible to be monitored by the Board Of Medicine, be search able by Zip Code, Insurance Company, Self Pay policies and or Medicare , Medicaid status with a real time next appointment date.  It happens all to frequently that we try to give a Bridge prescription only to find the next appointment cannot be until 3 months from now or they don't take insurance.

2-  I would ask that each time a patient fills a prescription for a controlled substance that they are given a copy of their PMP.  I know that in the past we were not supposed to put a copy in the chart or give it to the patient.  It is very time consuming to run a report the way we are supposed to FOR EVERY PATIENT NEEDING A REFILL OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. My rationale is that if it was used as a "ticket" to entry into the process of getting a refill it would be a more proactive step as compared to having the Physician need to deny the refill in the middle of a day of patient care.
