Approving Interstate Data-Sharing for Healthcare Entities
This feature enables State PDMP Administrators to grant or deny interstate data sharing access to individual Healthcare Entities (HCEs) within any state that has an established bilateral data sharing agreement.
Upon selecting a site, the administrator will see a list of HCEs associated with that site, along with their respective site configuration details. The administrator can then review each entity and determine whether to authorize it for interstate data-sharing with the administrator's state.
The screenshot below shows an example list of HCEs associated with the site "QQ". Selecting a healthcare entity reveals an expanded view displaying the site's configuration and facility information. The accompanying table provides definitions for each column heading shown in the screenshot.
