Medication List (PDMP Report) Update The update provides a drop-down list for selecting PDMP Authorized Prescribers. This list will display the location, DEA number, and NPI number of each prescriber for the user to make their selection.
In cases where a user has only one Prescriber DEA, DrChrono will automatically select it and initiate the PDMP report. However, if there are multiple locations , the user will be prompted to choose the intended Prescriber location. Once the selection is made, DrChrono will proceed to run the PDMP report for the specified prescriber's location.
All actions surrounding the PDMP report will also be tracked in the audit log.
