PDMP TTAC collaborated with representatives from the National Association of State Controlled Substances Authorities (NASCSA) PMP Committee to provide guidance surrounding veterinary prescription reporting to prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs). The “Recommended Best Practices for Veterinary Prescriptions” report examines the issues facing PDMPs as it relates to veterinarians and offers suggestions on how PDMPs may best address them. The suggestions are a consensus reached as result of the TTAC/NASCSA work group’s efforts and is intended to:

• show reporting issues of veterinary dispensing and prescribing,
• find issues in displaying such data in PDMP reports and queries, and
• offer recommended best practices on techniques and policies for PDMPs.
