So today an actual official from the OARRS (I think it means Ohio Automated Prescription Reporting System) arrived in our division with a summons for me, Molly, Johnny A, and our Boss John to sign up for this stupid Big Brother on-line reporting system where we have to actually report any patients who are prescribed controlled substances (read as my most hated class of medicines, the stimulants, which I loathe prescribing anyways) so this bogus on-line website can monitor these patients, which is even more abhorrent. So I lost like at least 25 minutes of my life going and registering for this stupid thing, which of course means picking out another obscure ID and password, entering every digit ever known in my life including my DEA, my medical license, my NPI, my own social security number, and my home address. And so I thought I was done, totally in compliance with this stupid, stupid, stupid thing. But no. All of that wasted time merely gave me a passNUMBER so that I could PRINT OUT a copy of the OARRS application, so that I could then make a photocopy of my drivers license, my medical license, my DEA registration, and then write in the spaces all of my own Personal Identifying Health information to take to a Notary Public to have Notarized and then send in to the OARRS Board. And the only reason I did this, since I never plan on uploading any PHI about any current or future patients into this stupid thing, was because a private practice MD who just got out of jail for selling Adderall scripts off his back porch was at the Grand Rounds this morning, so I was all like, Yo, I dont need to go to jail for Adderall, ysketch? Big OARRS Brother is watching you. Im sure the IRB and Hospitals Hospitals Inc are probably totally in love with the OARRS, and they all deserve each other.
