Miller County Working On Prescription Drug Monitoring Program

 

The Miller County Health Center has begun working with other Missouri counties to implement their own prescription drug monitoring program. Administrator Bruce Jenkins says with the session ending as the state’s proposal for a prescription drug monitoring program failed, a lot of counties are beginning to look at joining this initiative.

Jenkins says, as part of the new program, all doctors and pharmacies in Miller County are now signed into the database, which currently only shows the counties that are part of that database.
