So I've started ramping up the use of my state's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program(PDMP). Its been very helpful. I get a ROI(release of info) and then I try to consolidate the patient's controlled substance usage by calling the other providers letting them know my concerns. I have been totally surprised by what patients report vs what I find. Additionally, to my surprise, other providers are pretty thankful that I let them know.
At times, after I finish with the patient, I let them know that my state has this system, and what I find in the PDMP.
What do you think of PDMPs? do you use them? are they helpful? Any good stories?
