Bill Summary
Relative to the prescription monitoring program. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to address the loophole in Massachusetts' existing prescription monitoring system by requiring any person prescribing Schedule 2 through Schedule 5 drugs to submit a daily report of the issued prescriptions. This mechanism seeks to track prescriptions from the point of prescription to consumption, in order to set standards that expand the Commonwealth's prescription monitoring system and prevent the over-prescription of drugs by medical practitioners, thereby keeping patients safe.
