Summary: The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy PMP InterConnect Steering Committee and the National Association of State Controlled Substances Authorities (NASCSA) express general support for the VA's efforts to expand access to state Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs). However, they raise significant concerns regarding the breadth of "delegate" access, the definition of PDMPs, data storage, and federal preemption, urging the VA to collaborate with state administrators to protect patient privacy and state authority.
