Summary: The commenter opposes the implementation of a numerical score for pain management, arguing that it is unregulated, violates HIPAA, and causes harm to chronic pain patients. They request that the agency stop the use of these scores.
This unregulated score should Not be allowed. Noone knows what goes into it or who puts information into it. Tge PDMP has been infiltrated by who j ows who. The Entire thing violates Every aspect of HIPAA. And then to allow some Random "numerical score" to be added by Who Knows, that controls who may get pain control treatment, makes it even worse.
This Random score is causing nothing but Harm to American citizens and must be stopped. Please, stop this unregulated, randomness of numbers that are causing harm to Chronic Pain Patients nationwide.
A little research on your part will prove that thos is Wrong and unsubstantiated. Thank you.
