With only five months to go, the Texas State Board Pharmacy (TSBP) continues to work on an improved Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) system which will officially transfer to the TSBP on September 1st of this year.

Current users of the PMP will began to be notified by APPRISS beginning in June, with follow-ups in July and August. The TSBP anticipates an easy transition for those pharmacies currently using APPRISS in other states in addition being user friendly for those Texas pharmacists and pharmacies not currently utilizing the PMP.
 
More to come as the TSBP continues to work on a PMP system which will prove to be both useful to pharmacists and other healthcare providers using the system and one in which will prove highly effective in combating the inappropriate access of controlled substances in the State of Texas.
