Query of Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP)
The objective of this measure is to query state prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMP) when prescribing controlled substances.
Have the front desk run the formulary check when the patient checks in. A formulary check is valid for only three days. After three days, you’ll need to run a new, up-to-date formulary check. Formulary checking is provided by SureScripts and is available for patients who have an active insurance plan.
- In Eyefinity EHR on the web, open the patient’s chart.
- Click the Rx Plans tab.
- Click Request Rx Plans.
- If more than one plan is available, select one and click Set Default.
