Virginia Expands Doctor Shopping Monitoring Across State
Virginia launches a statewide prescription monitoring program collecting data from about 2 000 pharmacies to curb doctor shopping for painkillers such as OxyContin and Vicodin. The system, first piloted in southwest Virginia in 2003, seeks to prevent patients from obtaining overlapping prescriptions across towns while preserving privacy. Local officials note rising overdose deaths in the region, with the statewide rollout extending coverage to Schedule III and IV drugs.
