The Prescription Drug Monitoring Program system may be accessed by practitioners and pharmacists authorized to prescribe or dispense controlled substances, as well as by designated representatives of the Oregon Health Authority and vendors contracted to establish or maintain the system.  The Authority will monitor the system for unusual and potentially unauthorized use; if such use is detected, the user account will be immediately deactivated.  Vendors, practitioners, pharmacists and pharmacies must report any suspected breach of the system or unauthorized access.  If the patient data has been breached or accessed without proper authorization, the authority will notify all affected patients, the Attorney General and the applicable health professional regulatory board. 

The Authority may provide information contained in the registry to the following:

  • To patients requesting a report of his record, at no cost;
  • To a health professional regulatory board investigating an individual regulated by the board;
  • To a researcher for an approved research project, if the data is de-identified, and the researcher signs a data use agreement.
