BE AWARE OF IMPERSONATION SCAMS: Board staff and NABP (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy) will not contact you by telephone and demand personally identifiable information or payment of funds for any reason.
Description of the Scam - In this scam, a pharmacy receives a phone call from someone who claims to represent the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy. The caller ID shows a Board of Pharmacy telephone number or NABP’s official telephone number, which bad actors have spoofed to appear legitimate. The caller then attempts to solicit information from pharmacy staff, including information that may constitute personally identifiable information (PII). Caller ID spoofing is a technique used by scammers to make an incoming call appear to originate from a trusted or official source. A familiar phone number on caller ID does not confirm the identity of the caller.
Louisiana NARxCare EHR Integration Request
LOUISIANA PRESCRIPTION MONITORING PROGRAM (PMP)
STATEWIDE INTEGRATION ANNOUNCEMENT
The Louisiana Board of Pharmacy Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) is implementing a statewide, comprehensive platform for healthcare professionals to review patients' controlled-substance prescription history more quickly and efficiently. The goal is to minimize any workflow disruption by providing near-instant and seamless access to critical controlled-substance prescription history information to both prescribers and pharmacists. This platform utilizes current PMP prescription data and transfers it into electronic health records (EHR) and pharmacy management systems. Statewide integration is a key component of Louisiana’s ongoing efforts to address the opioid crisis. Accessing and viewing the patient’s PMP report obtained through integration complies with Louisiana’s PMP Mandatory Use Law §978.
It is important to note that not all EHR vendors are currently integrated. Your integration process and duration time is dependent upon your EHR vendor.
For more detailed information about this important initiative, please review the Louisiana Integration Initiative Welcome Packet.
