JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — By next year, all health care providers will be able to track a patient’s prescriptions with the goal of preventing overdoses and opioid abuse.
Missouri is the last state in the nation to create a statewide prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP). While the legislation, Senate Bill 63, was approved last year, the system is still months away from going online.
Dean Linneman is the executive director of Missouri’s PDMP. The program will be overseen by the Joint Oversight Task Force for Prescription Drug Monitoring.
