N.H. Admin. Code § Opt 504.06 - Prescription Drug Monitoring Program
(a) Prescribers
required to register with the prescription drug monitoring program, or their
delegate, shall query the prescription drug monitoring program to obtain a
history of schedule II-IV controlled substances dispensed to a patient, prior
to prescribing an initial schedule II, III, and IV opioids for the management
or treatment of pain and then periodically and at least twice per year, except
when:
(1) Controlled medications are to be
administered to patients in a health care setting;
(2) The program is inaccessible or not
functioning properly, due to an internal or external electronic issue;
or
(3) An emergency department is
experiencing a higher than normal patient volume such that querying the program
database would materially delay care.
(b) A licensee shall document the exceptions
described in (a)(2) and (3) above in the patient's medical record.
