Viewing Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) Report
As a regulatory requirement, states can mandate that you view a patient’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) report before prescribing Controlled Substances (CS) medications such as narcotics, sedatives, stimulants, and drugs of concern. With PDMP, you can receive a detailed list of a patient’s controlled substance history and NarxCare scores at the point of care.
The PDMP integrated functionality, using Bamboo Health PDMP Gateway, can help eliminate fraud, risk, and crime while ensuring compliance and increasing patient safety. For this service, you, as a client, must contract directly with Bamboo Health for a nominal annual provider fee. Some states cover this fee for their prescribers.
In NextGen® Mobile, providers with proper permissions can now view the PDMP reports using a hyperlink that appears on the Rx Details, Refill Request, and Renew Medication views for CS medications. When you select the PDMP link, a PDMP report is generated or rendered from the configured third party (Appriss) URL settings as a web page. If you do not have permission, the link is not available. You can select the link to view where you are missing out in permission.
- In File Maintenance, you must select the Enable PDMP Gateway check box in Practice Preferences for a medication, and enter the PDMP username and password credentials.
- In File Maintenance, in the Practice tab for a provider, you must select a role for the provider from the PDMP Gateway Role list.
- In System Administrator, in universal preferences settings for Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, you must set Initiate automatic PDMP upon New Encounter and Initiate automatic PDMP upon opening med module as true.
