NC’s prescription monitoring database: an underused resource

The state run NC Controlled Substances Reporting System (NCCSRS) is an important tool for any medical professional who prescribes controlled substances. Yes, according to the system's administrators less than half of NC prescribers with a valid DEA registration are currently signed up to access the CSRS.

The CSRS maintains a database of all controlled substances dispensed in outpatient settings across NC. NCMB encourages licensees to register for access to the NCCSRS and use its data to help make responsible prescribing decisions and identify patients who may be diverting and/or abusing controlled substances.

If you are not yet registered to access NCCSRS but would like to be, click here, log in and select Training & CSRS to register online.
