Title: Develop a Task Force to Research Various PMP Programs and Recommend Standards or Model Rules
Action: Passed

Whereas, there is an identified need to standardize prescription monitoring programs (PMP); and

Whereas, many of the state boards of pharmacy have enacted varying statutes and regulations and operational systems and standards related to PMPs;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that NABP commission a task force of interested stakeholders to review existing PMPs in light of the current language on PMPs found in the Model State Pharmacy Act and Model Rules of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (Model Act), identify for member boards where variations among programs exist, and encourage states to adopt language and standards to provide uniformity in the various PMP programs across the nation.
