HL7 FHIR® Implementation Guide: Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP), Edition 1 - US Realm

DESCRIPTION

Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) are state-based databases that provide prescribers and pharmacists with timely information about controlled substance, and in some states non-controlled substance, dispensing, administration and patient behaviors. Use of information stored in PDMPs during care delivery helps avoid drug misuse and diversion and can provide improved patient care and safety.


To reduce opioid misuse, reduce drug diversion, and for other purposes, states have implemented policies mandating providers to reference PDMPs to obtain a patient’s PDMP history before prescribing or dispensing certain medications. The Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) FHIR Implementation Guide defines a method for providers to request and retrieve patient PDMP information using the HL7 FHIR standard.
