The Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (or PDMP) monitors the prescribing and dispensing of schedule II-IV controlled substances to assist in the identification and prevention of prescription drug misuse and abuse.
The program’s goals are to:
- Improve controlled substance prescribing by providing critical information regarding a patient’s controlled substance prescription history.
- Inform clinical practice by identifying patients at high-risk who would benefit from early interventions.
- Reduce the number of people who misuse, abuse, or overdose while making sure patients have access to safe, effective treatment
