I. The department shall design, establish, and contract with a third party for the implementation and operation of an electronic system to facilitate the confidential sharing of information relating to the prescribing and dispensing of schedule II-IV controlled substances, by prescribers and dispensers within the state.
I-a. The department may enter into agreements or contracts to facilitate the confidential sharing of information relating to the prescribing and dispensing of schedule II-IV controlled substances, by practitioners within the state and to establish secure connections between the program and a practitioner's electronic health record keeping system. An electronic health record keeping system may allow for the query and retrieval of the provider specified, individual's program information for display and retention in the patient's medical information; provided that nothing in this section shall allow the electronic health record keeping system owner or license holder to perform data queries unrelated to individuals under the practitioner's care. The electronic health record keeping system owner or license holder shall be responsible for ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to program information. The program shall record and retain in its database what information was transferred and the identity of the organization who received the information. The program shall include this information when a patient requests a report pursuant to RSA 126-A:93, I(b)(1).
II. The department may establish fees for the establishment, administration, operations and maintenance of the program. The program may also be supported through grants and gifts. The fee charged to individuals requesting their own prescription information shall not exceed the actual cost of providing that information.
III. Prescription information held by the program relating to any individual shall be deleted 3 years after the initial prescription was dispensed. All de-identified data may be kept for statistical and analytical purposes in perpetuity.
IV. The commissioner shall establish an advisory council, as provided in RSA 126-A:96.
