Electronic Prescription Drug Monitoring

Electronic Prescription Drug Monitoring (ePDMP) is a system that helps track the prescribing and dispensing of medications, especially controlled substances. Healthcare providers use it to see a patient's medication history, ensuring safe and responsible prescribing practices. This system helps prevent misuse, reduces the risk of addiction, and promotes patient safety by allowing doctors to make informed decisions based on a complete overview of a patient's prescriptions. By enabling better communication among healthcare professionals, ePDMP aims to improve the overall management of medications and enhance public health.
