Prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) are statewide electronic databases that track controlled substance prescriptions. Checking a state's PDMP regularly, such as every 3 months or before each opioid prescription, allows clinicians to identify patients receiving opioids from multiple providers, calculate total daily opioid doses, and identify potential drug interactions. This helps improve patient safety and informs safer opioid prescribing practices. The document provides guidance on checking PDMPs, considering risks when prescribing opioids, addressing concerning patient information found in PDMPs, and registering for a state's PDMP.

- 1. PRESCRIPTION DRUG MONITORING PROGRAMS (PDMPs) Checking the PDMP: An Important Step to Improving Opioid Prescribing Practices WHAT IS A PDMP? 249M prescriptions for opioids were written by healthcare providers in 2013 enough prescriptions for every American adult to have a bottle of pills WHEN SHOULD I CHECK THE PDMP? A PDMP is a statewide electronic database that tracks all controlled substance prescriptions. Authorized users can access prescription data such as medications dispensed and doses. PDMPs improve patient safety by allowing clinicians to: • Identify patients who are obtaining opioids from multiple providers. • Calculate the total amount of opioids prescribed per day (in MME/day). • Identify patients who are being prescribed other substances that may increase risk of opioids—such as benzodiazepines. Improving the way opioids are prescribed will ensure patients have access to safer, more effective chronic pain treatment while reducing opioid misuse, abuse, and overdose. Checking your state’s PDMP is an important step in safer prescribing of these drugs. State requirements vary, but CDC recommends checking at least once every 3 months and consider checking prior to every opioid prescription.

- 2. High Dosage Multiple Providers Drug Interactions WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN PRESCRIBING OPIOIDS? Talk to your patient about the risks for respiratory depression and overdose. Consider offering to taper opioids as well as prescribing naloxone for patients taking 50 MME/day or more. Counsel your patient and coordinate care with their other prescribers to improve safety and discuss the need to obtain opioids from a single provider. Check the PDMP regularly and consider tapering or discontinuation of opioids if pattern continues. Whenever possible, avoid prescribing opioids and benzodiazepines concurrently. Communicate with other prescribers to prioritize patient goals and weigh risks of concurrent opioid and benzodiazepine use. WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I FIND INFORMATION ABOUT A PATIENT IN THE PDMP THAT CONCERNS ME? Patients should not be dismissed from care based on PDMP information. Use the opportunity to provide potentially life-saving information and interventions. 1 2 Confirm that the information in the PDMP is correct. Check for potential data entry errors, use of a nickname or maiden name, or possible identity theft to obtain prescriptions. Assess for possible misuse or abuse. Offer or arrange evidence-based treatment (usually medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine or methadone in combination with behavioral therapies) for patients who meet criteria for opioid use disorder. If you suspect diversion, urine drug testing can assist in determining whether opioids can be discontinued without causing withdrawal. 3 Discuss any areas of concern with your patient and emphasize your interest in their safety. HOW CAN I REGISTER AND USE THE PDMP IN MY STATE? Processes for registering and using PDMPs vary from state to state. For information on your state’s requirements, check The National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws online: www.namsdl.org/prescription-monitoring-programs.cfm LEARN MORE | www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/prescribing/guideline.html
