In December, the NC Controlled Substances Reporting System (NC CSRS) launched clinical alerts, which notify prescribers when a patient has met or exceeded one or more high-risk thresholds.
An alert is triggered when a patient fills controlled substance prescriptions written by 7+ prescribers and filled at 7+ pharmacies within 3 months.
It’s important to note that an alert does not indicate illegal or inappropriate behavior. It should be used as a conversation starter to better understand the patient’s specific situation and/or needs.
