We support this bill which mandates the continuation of the prescription drug registry for 2 additional years. This registry allows health care professionals access to patients’ narcotic fills across the state to prevent patients being prescribed multiple narcotics by multiple providers. This is a safety measure for patients, and helps in the prescription drug addiction prevention effort.
From Ellen Leahy: "The registry is also an essential public health tool to help slow the increasing incidence of death caused by prescription opioids. Currently, more Montana deaths are caused by these medications than by car crashes."
