CHANGE the SCRxIPT

 

Prescription drug misuse, addiction and overdose are all prevalent problems in Connecticut. People of all ages and ethnic, social, educational, and economic backgrounds are affected. The purpose of the CHANGE the SCRxIPT campaign is to increase awareness among prescribers of the Connecticut Prescription Monitoring and Reporting System (CPMRS).

The CPMRS is a web-based tool that provides a complete picture of a patient's controlled substance use, including prescriptions by other providers. As a healthcare tool, the CPMRS is used to improve quality of patient care and to reduce prescription misuse, addiction and overdose.

Campaign Goals

1. Increase CPMRS registration and usage.
2. Introduce new CPMRS tools and features.
3. Provide information on legislative mandates.
4. Offer resources to inform and guide clinical practices regarding controlled substance prescribing and dispensation.
