Prescription drug monitoring programs, or PDMPs, help providers ensure they’re aware of patients who are either addicted or at risk of becoming addicted to potentially dangerous or fatal prescription drugs.
What Are PDMP Programs?
- Electronic databases that track controlled substance prescriptions at the state level
- Give healthcare providers and authorities key information needed to understand patient risk
- Ensure what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls a “nimble and targeted response”
The Benefits of PDMPs
- Makes it simpler for professionals to understand patients’ medical history and engage in appropriate prescribing behavior
- Ultimately keep the patient safer
- Gives providers insight into every aspect of a patient’s history and risk
- Ensures better patient outcomes
- State programs can actively inform interventions and proactive care decisions on a statewide basis
Why Use a PDMP Partner?
- Integration with EHR solutions provides unmatched ease of use
- Prescriptions become as simple as possible to track
- Easily meet state requirements without undo internal effort/strain
