Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs

Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMP/PMPs) are critical decision support tools that state officials, health care professionals, and law enforcement officers use to address opioid and prescription drug abuse and diversion. PDMP/PMPs electronically collect, analyze and disclose specified information about prescribed controlled substances and other monitored substances dispensed to patients and their representatives.
