The future of public health is increasingly reliant on the effective sharing of data, particularly through initiatives like Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) that track controlled substance prescriptions to prevent opioid abuse. These programs require robust data integration from various sources, high data quality, strict data privacy measures, comprehensive data analysis, and real-time data availability. Tools like Elastic can enhance PDMPs by facilitating data sharing, enabling real-time monitoring, and improving search capabilities, thereby helping healthcare providers, pharmacies, and law enforcement to better manage and analyze prescription data. By leveraging such technologies, stakeholders including primary health physicians, pain management clinics, behavioral health providers, and policymakers can identify and address patterns of drug misuse and implement targeted interventions.
