title: Triplicate prescription: an idea whose time has yet to come.
abstract: A coalition of Maryland state officials and agencies is considering the introduction of legislation that would enact a triplication prescription program, a concept that dates back almost a half century. To date, only eight states have adopted such legislation, and since 1964, at least sixteen other states have thoroughly examined the concept and rejected it.
