-10-

patient feedback form was made available topatients and caregivers. The OPP began toreceive comments almost immediately frompatients.

The OPP continued its emphasis on greaterunderstanding of the OPP by giving numerouseducational presentations to professionalgroups. The presentations covered the type ofdata collected, length of time data is stored,how the data is evaluated and used, and theextent of the use of the data in disciplinaryproceedings against health professionals. Thepresentation also covers why the program cameinto existence and the effectiveness of theOPP.

The CSAC reviewed the data for 1997. The1997 data shows declines in the number ofprescriptions issued for meperidine andhydromorphone. Oxycodone prescriptionnumbers rose from 1996. Further evaluatiuonof the oxycodone prescriptions shows theincrease in prescriptions for oxycodone isentirely due to the single entity oxycodoneproduct.

The 1997 data shows increases for morphine,fentanyl and dextroamphetamine. The datashowed a 265% increase in the number ofprescriptions for amphetamines. Amphetamineand dextroamphetamine combined account forapproximately 25% of the prescriptionssubmitted to the program.

The monthly average of official prescriptionforms utilized in 1997 continued to increase,averaging approximately 27,500 per month.

The 1997 data does not includemethylphenidate which was removed from therequirement to be on the official form in 1994.
