# Prescription Drug-Monitoring Program (PDMP)

Authorized users (licensed prescribers and pharmacists) and delegates are able to access the PDMP query functionality.

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:

- View and retrieve controlled substance prescription monitoring data from external sources and within patients electronic medical records
- 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.

Note: To display the last query completed date, hover over (put your cursor over) the PDMP Query button from the ribbon bar. The completed date is the date when the last STATE PRESCRIPTION DRUG MONITORING PROGRAM note was signed and completed). If a previous PDMP note was never completed for this patient, it will display "Last query completed: Unknown."
