How can patients access their data in the PMP?

Patients can access their data in the Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) by requesting it directly from the board using a specified form. This process ensures that the patient's request is documented and allows for appropriate verification to maintain the integrity and security of sensitive health information. This method adheres to regulations surrounding patient control over their health data while also ensuring compliance with privacy laws.

The other choices may not provide the correct procedure for accessing PMP data. While healthcare providers may have access to a patient's prescription history, it does not grant patients direct access through that avenue. The option of accessing information only in person at the pharmacy does not align with the modern standards of data management and patient access. The choice suggesting automatic access via an online account may not be applicable, as PMP data usually requires specific protocols for patient requests to safeguard privacy and misuse of the information.
