Abstract

The anacronym for the Idaho PDMP is IPMP, which is managed by the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, a Professional Licensing Agency. The email address is provided, along with the URLs of the PDMP website and related websites for enrollment, query, and data upload. Contact information is provided for the Program Information Coordinator and the Executive Director. For 2020, the state population was 1,841,377, and there were 9,934 DEA-registered prescribers and 351 DEA-registered dispensers. A total of 24 reports are listed as available from the PDMP. Funding for the PDMP in 2021 comes from licensing fees, controlled substance registration fees, and the Regulatory Board Fund. One employee performs operational tasks and one performs other tasks. The section on policies and procedures provides key dates in the development of the PDMP and information for accessing statutes and rules related to the establishment and mission of the PDMP. Miscellaneous capabilities and policies of the PDMP are listed. There is a data retention policy that requires all information to be purged except for de-identified data. Training for PDMP users is available for prescribers, dispensers, law enforcement personnel, the Regulatory Board, and the Attorney General; however, no training is required before PDMP use. Requirements for having a PDMP account are provided. Law enforcement access to the PDMP requires that it be related to an active investigation. Criteria for querying the PDMP are listed. Data are monitored or accessible for drugs listed in Schedules II-V, with the authority to monitor other substances. Data are monitored or accessible for naloxone/narcan dispensing, as well as pharmaceutical manufacturers/distribution sales.
