State Senator Mike Fasano Announces that E-FORCSE (Electronic – Florida Online Reporting of Controlled Substances Evaluation), the prescription drug monitoring program, goes “live” today. All physicians in Florida will now have the ability to access the prescription drug history of patients in Florida. The monitoring program came about due to efforts of Senator Fasano and others over the pat ten years. Senator Fasano was the prime sponsor of various pieces of legislation during the past decade that led to the launching of the database. The database will assist physicians in identifying both doctor shoppers as well as patients who may not be using their medications properly.
