PDMPs play a critical role in Gynecology for several reasons:
Preventing Misuse: Gynecologists often prescribe medications such as opioid analgesics for pain management post-surgery or for chronic conditions like endometriosis. PDMPs help in monitoring patient prescriptions to prevent misuse and addiction. Ensuring Patient Safety: By reviewing a patient’s prescription history, gynecologists can avoid dangerous drug interactions and ensure that patients are not receiving conflicting medications. Compliance: Using PDMPs helps gynecologists comply with state and federal regulations regarding the prescribing of controlled substances.
