# What's New in CPRS GUI v31 Mission Act (OR*3.0*519)

The Prescription Drug-Monitoring Program (PDMP) enhancement to CPRS allows authorized users (prescribers and pharmacists) and licensed delegates to submit on demand PDMP queries for use in patient care related decision making when prescribing controlled substances to Veterans. The process allows the user to:

- Automatically generate patient progress notes
- Query and easily utilize prescription and patient prescription history on an ad-hoc and recurring basis
- Perform audit functions that ensure compliance
