Electronic Prescription Drug Monitoring Program
The Electronic Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (“PDMP”) is available online to all Colorado licensed prescribers of controlled substances and to pharmacists.
The PDMP, operated by the Colorado State Board of Pharmacy, is a secure online database of controlled substance prescriptions that have been dispensed by Colorado registered pharmacies. The PDMP provides immediate access to a patient's history of controlled substance prescriptions and is available 24/7. This objective information can then be used to assist prescribers and pharmacists in providing the appropriate treatment for their patients. The PDMP also allows prescribers to obtain a complete record of the prescriptions that have been dispensed pursuant to his or her DEA registration.
To learn more about the PDMP and to register on line to access the PDMP, please visit www.colorado.pdmp.org.

Nurse Licensure Compact
Licensure of a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse whose primary state of residence is a compact state other than Colorado may also be verified with the state of licensure. For a list of compact states with contact information, see Contacts for Nurse Licensure Compact.
The Nurse Licensure Compact requires that states clearly identify when a license is valid for practice only in the granting state. Licenses that are valid for practice only in Colorado are designated as ‘active single-state’ on the face of the license and also on ALISON. Licenses not identified as ‘single-state’ are multi-state (compact) licenses.
