Washington State Prescription Monitoring Program

The Prescription Monitoring Program (Prescription Review) is a patient safety tool. Practitioners will have access to the information before they prescribe or dispense drugs. The information provided will allow a practitioner to look for duplicate prescribing, misuse, drug interactions, and other potential concerns. By having this information available before prescribing or dispensing, a practitioner can provide improved care to their patients.

Note: Dispensers may establish an account and begin submitting test files on September 14^th. 

Beginning October 7, 2011 dispensers will begin submitting data for the program on Schedules II, III, IV and V controlled substances dispensed to patients. The protected health information will be collected and stored securely.
 
The department anticipates being ready to receive and respond to requests from prescribers and other system users by January 2012.
