Starting Aug. 25, 2016, medical professionals registered for Pennsylvania’s new PDMP will be able to access valuable data that will help inform clinical decisions and combat the opioid and heroin epidemic.

Registration for the PA PDMP system is now openclick here to get started!

Registration is a straightforward process. You will also be able to grant access to delegates employed by you or under your supervision to check the system on your behalf. To learn more about who can be your delegate, please visit the PA PDMP website. You will also find tutorials on how to register on the website.

Registering for the PA PDMP is the critical first step to accessing valuable clinical information to spot the warning signs of addiction, doctor shopping, and drug diversion.

The PA PDMP will increase the quality of patient care by giving prescribers and pharmacists access to their patients’ controlled substance prescription history. Most importantly, you will be able to identify patients struggling with substance use disorder, so that you can help them get the treatment they need.

Together, we can save thousands of Pennsylvanians from opioid abuse, heroin use and overdose death.
