Controlled Substance Monitoring

System for tracking and monitoring prescriptions of controlled substances to prevent abuse and ensure compliance.

Controlled substance monitoring involves systems and processes for tracking and monitoring prescriptions of controlled substances (such as opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants) to prevent abuse, diversion, and ensure regulatory compliance. These systems include prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs), real-time monitoring, and reporting requirements. Effective monitoring helps identify patterns of misuse, supports appropriate prescribing, and protects patient safety.
