Healthcare Provider

On September 1, 2011 the Oregon Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) system went online. The OHA grants PDMP system accounts to Oregon-licensed healthcare providers and pharmacists so that they may look up controlled substance information on their own patients via the Web using a user name and password.

Healthcare providers and pharmacists must apply to the PDMP for a user account to access information from the system—see instructions below. Access is granted to individuals only—not to clinics, hospitals, pharmacies or any other health care facility.

Starting in mid-September the PDMP will be employing Outreach Specialists stationed throughout the state to promote the use of the system. If you would like to talk with an Outreach Specialist or have one come speak to a group, email pdmp.health@state.or.us or call 971-673-0741.

The PDMP staff will review your application and verify the information. You may be contacted if additional information is required.

If you are approved for an account, you will be notified via e-mail. This e-mail will contain your assigned user name. You will be sent a temporary password, PIN, and instructions for setting up your account in a separate email. Follow the e-mail instructions carefully. You will be required to change the temporary password immediately when you first attempt to access the system.

If you are denied access to the system, you will be notified in writing.
