DOH Releases New Videos to Help Healthcare Providers Deal Effectively With Prescription Drug Abuse

Submitted by Administrator on Sat, 04/06/2013 - 15:12

The Department of Health’s Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) has created new education videos for healthcare providers and law enforcement. The videos are designed to help the two groups:

·       Understand the prescription drug abuse problem

·       Learn about the program’s history, purpose, goals, and basic operations

·       Know how to successfully register for and use the system

 Videos available for each group are:

·       A PowerPoint presentation with voice-over giving a general overview of the program

·       Tutorials on how to use the system (step-by-step video directions with voice-over)

·       A compilation video with the overview and all the tutorials

The goal is to make the information available wherever a user has Internet access. That provides more opportunities for PMP education and training. Users can learn about the program and get help with using the system when it best fits their schedule. 

The videos are online at: http://www.doh.wa.gov/PublicHealthandHealthcareProviders/HealthcareProfessionsandFacilities/PrescriptionMonitoringProgramPMP/EducationVideos.aspx
