Prescription Monitoring Information exchange (PMIX) Standards Organization

The PMIX Standards Organization supports the sharing of Prescription Drug Monitoring (PDMP) program Data among PDMP organizations and their stakeholders by establishing and maintaining the PMIX National Architecture and related guidelines, policies and standards to minimize the cost and complexity of sharing PDMP data across organizational, vendor, geographic and operational boundaries; enable secure, trusted exchanges of PDMP data and promote consistency among PDMPs. The PMIX Standards Organization operates following these Guiding Principles:

  • Protect state's full rights and control of Data Ownership.
  • Promote the adoption of security standards that protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data in transit and at rest.
  • Promote fair, open and transparent competition in the selection of IT Solution providers that provide the best value products or services to PDMP participating states, while maintaining the public’s trust and fulfilling public policy objectives.
  • Promote uniformity in the selection of a limited set of approved common data standards.
