Resolving Your NJPMP Access Inquiries
Q: What is the New Jersey Prescription Monitoring Program (NJPMP)?
The NJPMP is a statewide database that collects prescription data for Controlled Dangerous Substances (CDS), Human Growth Hormone (HGH), and gabapentin. Its primary purpose is to help prescribers and pharmacists provide better patient care, identify potential drug misuse, abuse, or diversion, and combat issues like 'doctor shopping' and 'pill mills'.
Q: Which prescription drugs are monitored by the NJPMP?
The NJPMP specifically collects information on the dispensing of drugs classified as Controlled Dangerous Substances (CDS) across Schedules II, III, IV, and V, as well as Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and gabapentin. It does not monitor other prescription drugs.
Q: How often is the NJPMP database updated with new prescription information?
Pharmacies are mandated to submit prescription dispensing data to the NJPMP daily. This frequent updating ensures that the database contains the most current information available for healthcare professionals.
Q: Can I delegate access to the NJPMP to other healthcare professionals?
Yes, registered prescribers can delegate their authority to access the NJPMP to certain other healthcare professionals. However, the prescriber remains responsible for their delegates' use or misuse of the NJPMP.
Q: What happens if I don't comply with NJPMP requirements?
Non-compliance with mandatory NJPMP patient look-up requirements and other regulations may lead to disciplinary actions, which could include the suspension of your professional license, or other penalties as outlined in N.J.S.A. 45:1-49.
