The reason for the data base is for the prescribing provider to know and confirm how much has been prescribed for their patients and if concerned about abuse as well as the state to track In RI and in MA you can?t look at unless you?re the prescriber I?m a palliative care physician as well so I?m looking and verifying There is no way I?d look for someone who is not my patient.

I am trying to ascertain whether other states with similar programs/registries allow access for the protection of public safety. Obviously nobody wants providers, nurses, pharmacists, residents, law enforcement, truck drivers and others working in safety sensitive positions to be working while impaired, but this important resource is closed to providers in AZ.
