Transition to HID Planned for Week of Jan. 31

The Maine Office of Substance Abuse (OSA) is revising the timeline for the transition between web hosts for the Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) again. The new target date for the shutdown of the current site hosted by Goold Health Systems (GHS) is Monday, January 31, 2011. The new service provider, Health Information Designs (HID), plans to activate its new Maine PMP online database the next day, February 1, 2011. You should plan on an interruption of all PMP-related services for at least 24 hours.

Data submitters are asked to continue using the current site until 5:00 on Thursday, January 27. On or soon after February 1, data submitters will need to go to HID’s new data submitter site to set up their accounts and submit data there. Details on how to set up your account are documented in the RxSentry Data Submitter’s Implementation Guide posted at http://www.hidinc.com/mainepmp.

Data requesters are encouraged to run any reports on the current web site that they can anticipate needing prior to January 31.

Current users of the PMP web site will be sent an e-mail message with instructions on logging in and setting up a new password. User guides to the new site for both data submitters and data requesters are already posted and available for download at http://www.hidinc.com/mainepmp.

If you have any questions regarding the upcoming changes to the PMP web site, please contact me at the Office of Substance Abuse at 207-287-3363 or daniel.eccher@maine.gov.
