Most states now require a physician check their local prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) registries prior to prescribing controlled substances. DrFirst’s PDMP integration brings state PDMP data into existing MEDITECH workflows without having to launch the state website, remember username/ password, or search for the patient. It brings the PDMP results back to MEDITECH and documents that the registry was checked. Upon review of PDMP data within the medication management processes, this integration is bi-directional ensuring providers get “credit” for checking their local registry. This integration saves an estimated 25-50 keystrokes for every controlled substance written.
