In 2014, as Vermont's Governor Peter Shumlin delivered a courageous state of the state address about the grip of the opioid overdose crises, doctors were prescribing more opioid analgesics than ever before. Despite requests for more transparency in their prescribing practices, and the existence of a state database that would make prescribing trends available to the public (and give doctors a perspective on where they stood), the practices of the medical profession in Vermont remained opaque.
