Which of the following is an eligible recipient of Prescription Drug Registry data when used to provide medical care or pharmaceutical treatment to the patient?

• A. Prescriber or Dispenser if used to provide medical care or pharm tx to the patient requested
• B. Individual requesting their own prescribing info
• C. Rx Drug Registry in another state
• D. County coroner or peace officer with an investigative subpoena

Answer: (B)

The data from the Prescription Drug Registry can be requested by the individual for their own care. This supports patient involvement and safety by letting someone review their own prescribing history and share it with clinicians as needed. Cross-state registries aren’t typically accessible for routine care, and access by county coroners or peace officers generally requires formal legal processes or subpoenas, not for providing medical treatment. While prescribers and dispensers use registry data to treat patients, the scenario here emphasizes the patient’s direct right to obtain their own prescribing information, making the patient the best answer.
