Nationally, PDMPs are operated by various state agencies including health, board of pharmacy, law enforcement, etc. Funding for PDMPs is generally through state general funds, but may be supplemented with grants and dedicated state funds. Understanding how and when PDMPs were established and how they evolved provides a better understanding of PDMPs today. PDMP Administrators, stakeholders and the public will be interested in the history of PDMPs and other relevant PDMP information.
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) Grant enhances the capacity of regulatory and law enforcement agencies and public health officials to collect and analyze controlled substance prescription data and other scheduled chemical products through a centralized database administered by an authorized agency. The goal of the Harold Rogers PDMP Grant is to support state and local governments in detecting and preventing the diversion and abuse of pharmaceutically controlled substances such as opioids and other prescription drugs. Grant funds may be used to support a variety of PDMP implementation or enhancement activities that encourage the use of PDMPs to improve clinical decision making and prevent the abuse and diversion of controlled substances.
