The PDMP Training and Technical Assistance Center (TTAC) convened a group of representatives from the state government to address these issues. The workgroup members, composed of PDMP Administrators and agency policymakers, were selected to ensure representation from across the country with differing perspectives (see Appendix A). This report intends to serve as a basis for further consideration and discussion on recommended best practices for adoption to
align the PDMPs with interstate data sharing, integration, and access to data, regardless of current capabilities, statutes, regulations, and policies. PDMP Administrators, state policymakers, and legislators are encouraged to critically review the provided information and use it to enhance the current capabilities, policies, and practices to improve their states’ ability to address prescription medication abuse and misuse problems.
