The Washington Prescription Monitoring Program (WA PMP) will change software systems on April 21, 2020. The upgrade will move from our Appriss legacy RxSentry system to the Appriss PMP AWARxE software, which provides users with increased functionality and data visualization.
Action Steps:
1. At https://secureaccess.wa.gov/myAccess/saw, log into SAW. Under My Services tab, click PMP provider. Select USER MANAGEMENT to find the option to UPDATE USER PROFILE. Review and update your email address and contact information.
2. Review your connections under DELEGATE ACCOUNTS. Unlink any delegates that no longer have authority to query on your behalf.
3. Please complete all account updates by the end of business on April 8, 2020. This is the last day the new system will reflect account updates made in the old system.
During the 2019 legislative session the legislature passed Substitute Senate Bill 5380, which included the addition of RCW 70.225.090. Specifically the bill requires that facilities, entities, offices, or provider groups with 10 or more prescribers, that are not critical access hospitals, must demonstrate the ability to integrate their electronic health records systems with the Prescription Monitoring Program.
The bill also directs the department to develop a waiver process for this integration requirement. If you would like to receive information regarding this rule-making process, please subscribe to updates through the 5380 PMP Integration Workgroup. If you have questions you can reach out to the program manager, Carly Bartz-Overman.
