# Accessing a PDMP Button on a Reminder Dialog Template

Sites have the option of adding a PDMP Button to a Reminder Dialog Template. This feature is not required. It enables sites to use their own Reminder Dialogs template for preparing notes that include data from PDMP reports. The PDMP button on the Reminder Dialog Template can be used in addition to, or in place of the PDMP button at the top right-hand corner of the CPRS window.

To configure the Reminder Dialog Template with a PDMP button, the site CACs need to add the Reminder Dialog prompt, PXRM PDMP BUTTON, to the template. It would add a PDMP button to a Reminder Dialog template and allow users to click on it to initiate a PDMP query.

There are differences between a PDMP query that is initiated on a reminder dialog template vs when it is initiated from the top of the CPRS window. When it is initiated from a reminder dialog template:

- The PDMP report will open automatically as soon as it is available.
- The report is opened as a modeless window, so that the report and reminder dialog template can be interacted with simultaneously.
- The radio buttons on the bottom of the report will not display and the ‘STATE PRESCRIPTION DRUG MONITORING PROGRAM note will not automatically generate. Note: To ensure that the PDMP query is captured for compliance measurement, the site’s CAC must ensure that the template is attached to the STATE PRESCRIPTION DRUG MONITORING PROGRAM note title. The template should contain the necessary field elements so that the user can record their findings from the report.
- The user may close the report either by selecting the ‘Close’ button, by closing the local reminder dialog template itself, or by selecting another patient.
