NASCSA Prescription Monitoring
IntroductionPrescription monitoring programs are among the most effective tools available to states, to identify and prevent drug diversion at the prescriber, pharmacy and patient levels. Prescription monitoring programs collect prescription data from pharmacies and other dispensers in either paper or electronic format. Data is reviewed and analyzed for educational, public health and investigative purposes. States with prescription monitoring programs recognize the legitimate need for controlled pharmaceuticals in healthcare therefore, programs are not intended to interfere with the legitimate prescribing, dispensing or procuring of these drugs. NASCSA is strongly committed to supporting states in their development and operation of prescription monitoring programs. Prescription Monitoring Program Model Act of 2010In October 2010 the National Association of State Controlled Substances Authorities (NASCSA) endorsed the Prescription Monitoring Program Model Act of 2010 as updated by the Alliance of States with Prescription Monitoring Programs. The Model Act provides a statutory framework for establishing and operating a prescription monitoring program.
