This agenda covers several topics related to the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM). The first topic is how NIEM can enable prescription drug monitors to share information across state lines. Other topics include the NIEM framework, governance structure, and upcoming program updates such as NIEM 3.0 and international adoption efforts. The agenda also provides information on how state and local practitioners can get involved with NIEM.

NATIONWIDE DRUG ABUSE

From 1992-2003,
Hallucinogens (4 mil.) 15.1 million Americans

During the same period, there was a 150% INCREASE in prescriptions written for controlled substances.
The brand cost of 4 mg of Dilaudid is $88.94 per 100.
The street value for the same amount is $10,000. The demand is REAL.

DRUG MONITORING
1 in 5 teens are abusing
prescription drugs to get high.
40% of teens 29% of teens
believe that prescription drugs believe that prescription pain
are safer than illegal drugs. relievers are not addictive.

the homes of family members and friends.‖

6. NIEM IMPACT ON PHARMACEUTICAL
DRUG MONITORING
Pharmaceutical drug
abuse is crossing
state lines as
offenders realize the
gap in interstate
reporting.
Where CA Prescriptions Really Go
As this map
shows, less than 20% > 0 – .9%
of prescriptions 1 – 2.9%
written in California 3 – 3.9%
were written for 4 – 7%
> 19%
California residents.
There are three facets to the problem— Prescription drug monitoring is the coming together of
misuse, abuse, and diversion—and three pharmacy boards, health agencies, and law enforcement
players—prescribers, dispensers, and patients. to monitor drug diversion.

7. NIEM IMPACT ON PHARMACEUTICAL
DRUG MONITORING
As diversion of prescription controlled substances and the
abuse involving these drugs continues to escalate, how can
we improve interstate monitoring of drug use?
How do we enable prescription drug
monitors to see across state lines?
7

8. NIEM IMPACT ON PHARMACEUTICAL
DRUG MONITORING
Before NIEM, there was large gap in interstate reporting.
As abuse and diversion escalate, law
enforcement and health practitioners
need a standardized, scalable solution
to share patient drug history.
The Standard NIEM Prescription
Monitoring Program Information
Exchange assists prescribers,
health agencies, and law
enforcement in identifying
potential abuse and diversion.

10. THE NIEM
FRAMEWORK AND
PROCESS
What common services, governance
models, processes and tools are provided by NIEM?

11. THE NIEM FRAMEWORK
NIEM connects communities of people who share a common need to exchange information
in order to advance their missions, and provides a foundation for seamless information
exchange between federal, state, local, and tribal agencies. Much more than a data model,
NIEM offers an active user community as well as a technical and support framework.

In April 2011, the National Association of
State CIOs (NASCIO) issued a policy
statement of support recommending
participation and adoption of the NIEM and
provided state CIOs with
background, guidance and
recommendations in support of state
government adoption of NIEM to
achieve effectiveness in government
through collaborative information
sharing.

25. MARCH 20 TESTIMONY TO HOUSE WAYS AND
MEANS
"Although I am not testifying on behalf of NIEM today, I am
testifying in support of NIEM as it relates to any standards
contemplated by this legislation. The NIEM model is now
being used in many aspects of government around the
country and not just within the Justice domain …Because
we in the courts deal with matters that come before us from
a range of other governmental disciplines, we would hope
that any standards developed in the child support
enforcement area would be developed using the NIEM
framework and dictionaries.“

30. Information Sharing Environment:
Delivering Trust in Sharing

31. Building Trust with Privacy Principles
Privacy Act of 1974, Fair Information Principles, International
Privacy Guidelines, and increased social awareness are drivers for
building IT systems with trust…
1. Citizens, by U.S. law, have rights related to how the government uses their
information
2. Federated democracy compounds this at State and Local level
3. Government entities are expected to practice fair information principles in
their systems and processes
4. Trusted Partners have expectations beyond basic protections provided to
citizens such as protection of law enforcement case data, proprietary
information, etc
5. International protections and expectations may differ and are driven by
cultural variety
6. Google and FaceBook's changing privacy policies are driving increased
consumer awareness
7. Public at large has a higher expectation for lower risk and increased
protection from government....Much more than what they accept with social
media and consumer transactions

32. Building a Network of Trust for
Sharing
1. How do I know who I am sharing with?
2. Is the environment secure?
3. Is my personal information safe?
4. When I share, how do I know it won't be accessed beyond my
expectations?
5. How and when can I share outside of my COI or group of
associates?
