Medicolegal Death Investigation Webinar Series

Medical examiners/coroners (ME/C) have identified prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) as valuable data sources that can aid in carrying out their roles. An increasing number of ME/Cs use decedents’ PDMP data to assist in determining whether, and to what extent, prescription drugs caused or contributed to an individual’s death. The experience of ME/Cs with PDMPs indicates that PDMP data can assist in many phases of forensic investigations, both in the laboratory and in the field.
