Medi-Span pharmacy reference database

Abstract

This is an empty dataset for the purposes of managing permissions and access to the Medi-Span data on the PHS servers.

Off-label drug use, defined as use of a drug in a manner that deviates from its approved use defined by the drug's FDA label, is problematic because such uses have not been evaluated for safety and efficacy. Studies estimate that 21% of prescriptions are off-label, and only 27% of those have evidence of safety and efficacy. We describe a data-mining approach for systematically identifying off-label usages using features derived from free text clinical notes and features extracted from two databases on known usage (Medi-Span and DrugBank). We trained a highly accurate predictive model that detects novel off-label uses among 1,602 unique drugs and 1,472 unique indications. We validated 403 predicted uses across independent data sources. Finally, we prioritize well-supported novel usages for further investigation on the basis of drug safety and cost.

ECM Community Support Services tables for a Quarterly Implementation Report. Including the County and Plan Details for both ECM and Community Support.

This Medi-Cal Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports Calendar Year Quarterly Implementation Report provides a comprehensive overview of ECM and Community Supports implementation in the programs' first year. It includes data at the state, county, and plan levels on total members served, utilization, and provider networks.

ECM is a statewide MCP benefit that provides person-centered, community-based care management to the highest need members. The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and its MCP partners began implementing ECM in phases by Populations of Focus (POFs), with the first three POFs launching statewide in CY 2022.

Community Supports are services that address members’ health-related social needs and help them avoid higher, costlier levels of care. Although it is optional for MCPs to offer these services, every Medi-Cal MCP offered Community Supports in 2022, and at least two Community Supports services were offered and available in every county by the end of the year.

The dataset provides enrollment and geographic data for Fee-for-Service (FFS) providers enrolled in the Medi-Cal Dental program and Safety Net Clinics (SNCs) who provide dental services. The data is based on a point in time and is expected to be updated regularly as it becomes available. This dataset does not include Dental Managed Care providers.
