Alliance with Carroll & Dhillon will further efforts to combat the nation’s opioid epidemic while saving employers money.

Des Moines, IA & Washington, DC – Today Opioid Clinical Management (OPCM) announced a strategic partnership with Hon. Jim Carroll, the former Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (more colloquially known as the United States “Drug Czar”) and Hon. Uttam Dhillon, the former Acting Administrator of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The alliance will allow OPCM to intensify its government relations advocacy and promotion of its Opioid RX product suite.

“I am pleased to welcome Mr. Carroll and Mr. Dhillon to the Opioid Clinical Management team,” OPCM founder and CEO Mike Vasquez stated. “Their strong bipartisan relationships, extensive federal experience, and the broad respect they enjoy among key policymakers in Washington will bolster OPCM at this critical time.”

Opioid Clinical Management, Inc (“OPCM”) is a unique technology company that provides opioid prescription risk/case management for large, self-insured employers through its Opioid Prescription (ORx) Suite©. Unique software algorithms combined with artificial intelligence technology (ORx Risk Profiler©) allows OPCM to confidentially identify providers that are not adhering to best practice for a company’s employees. The majority of network providers are not trained in pain management and painkiller prescribing, resulting in painkillers not being discontinued when the therapeutic benefit of opioids has been reached.

“OPCM provides unique products to answer a definite need: helping self-insured employers attack costs and overprescribing by providers,” Carroll said. “I look forward to making more business leaders, elected officials, and law enforcement aware of their crucial work.”

“Ending the opioid epidemic requires tackling the problem in innovative ways, and OPCM does exactly that,” Dhillon said. “I welcome this opportunity to increase awareness and use of OPCM products, decreasing employer liability and saving lives — it’s a win-win.”

Jim Carroll most recently served as the United States “Drug Czar” for three years, unanimously confirmed to the position by the United States Senate.
